“Israeli” Military: Mock Attacks in Palestinian Villages Acceptable

Local Editor

The "Israeli" Military's Advocate General ruled Sunday that Palestinian villages can continue to be used for "Israeli" military trainings under the principle of "belligerent occupation".

According to the military Advocate General's statement, there is "no legal obstacle to holding training in inhabited areas as part of maintaining security in the area.
The orders issued for the drills that take place in populated urban areas include a statute requiring coordination with the ones doing the drill.

However, the Palestinian residents subjected to these 'training exercises' and the human rights groups representing them have provided numerous examples of the soldiers tearing through homes and yards, breaking into houses, running up and down stairs and taking over rooftops of family homes as part of these exercises.

All of the villages where these trainings take place have experienced actual "Israeli" military invasions on a regular basis, and since the military makes no attempt to differentiate or announce that any particular invasion is a 'training exercise', the villagers are just as terrorized as they are during actual raids.
