B’Tselem urges soldiers to refuse to shoot protesters in Gaza
Israeli human rights group B’Tselem is launching a campaign urging IDF soldiers to refuse orders to open fire on Palestinian protesters.
In a statement, the left-wing group says “shooting unarmed protesters is illegal, and a command to do so is a grossly illegal command.”
B’Tselem says it is taking the “unusual step” of appealing directly to soldiers in light of the deadly Gaza border clashes last week.
