RT | Israeli police and the IDF might be given the right to open fire on
Palestinians who throw stones and Molotov cocktails. Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu also announced deployment of additional police to
Jerusalem, the West Bank, and on a key highway.
Netanyahu called an emergency high-level security meeting on Wednesday to discuss the recent spike of “terror incidents”
taking place within Jerusalem and on Road 443 connecting the capital
Tel Aviv with the city of Modi'in, the Jerusalem Post reports.
The meeting was attended by top security officials, such as Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, Transportation and Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz, General Security Services head Yoram Cohen, and others.

PM
Netanyahu told the gathering he is not going to tolerate rock and
petrol-bomb attacks on a central road, or inside the city of Jerusalem.
“The policy is zero tolerance for rock throwers and zero tolerance for terror,” Netanyahu said. “Since the legal system is having difficulty dealing with juveniles” engaged in those activities, the Israeli government is going to legislate a minimum punishment for those underage offenders.
