5. IDF: 'Neighborly help' protects soldiers
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3151626,00.html

'Human shield' procedure employed to protect the lives of soldiers, IDF sources say. 'The IDF continues to be moral and act morally,' source says

<snip>

"The IDF does not wish to endanger the lives of innocent civilians, but sometimes the circumstances require actions taken to protect the lives of soldiers, army sources said Thursday in response to the High Court's decision to ban the so-called "neighborly help procedure."

The High Court ruled that the procedure, whereby Palestinian civilians are sent to knock on the doors of wanted terror suspects and ask them to surrender – is illegal. The IDF has yet to issue an official response to the decision."


"Neighborly help procedure?"

:rofl:
