Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported that the occupation's leadership will potentially allow police to shoot against protesting Israeli settlers who block roads or town entrances in light of the current Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

Kan stated that a senior officer will permit the 'shoot-to-kill' order under the new rules, as Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara already agreed to speed up the process which could make it effective as soon as Sunday.

The move was proposed by right-wing Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir before the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7. 

Ben-Gvir relayed to Kan earlier this month that he was “not ashamed to act, to make it so that it will be easier for our police officers to shoot those who threaten them.” He believes that altering the rules is “very important” to allegedly protect and carry out duties more effectively.

Kan previously reported that police and the Police Ministry were concerned that Israeli citizens of Arab origin could block convoys in case a military escalation occurs with the Palestinians or with the Lebanese Resistance Hezbollah. 

A day before the operation, Israeli media outlets, notably, Haaretz, stressed that "the personal security situation for Israelis is deteriorating," while "the Israeli police show a complete inability in all areas."

Not only did the newspaper emphasize the ineptitude of Israeli occupation police, but also underscored that this comes at a time when Ben-Gvir continues to incite violence against anti-reform protesters and Palestinians alike.

Moreover, the Resistance has only been able to successfully conduct operations targeting Israeli settlers, as per Israeli media, because "of the police's inability."
