[Rubber Bullets, Real Lives]
The IDF alternate
between live
rounds and rubber
bullets. The
name rubber
bullet is
a misnomer as
they are plastic
covered metal bullets.
They have been proven to be inaccurate over more than 40
meters. They
are routinely
fired over this
distance and routinely hit
people; the
excuse given is that they were not the intended target,
but these things are inaccurate.
One such round was used by a sniper to
hit a 17 year
old Shabab in
the head. Luckily, he survived,
this time...
