Shin Bet chief David Zini has reportedly recommended that the government approve the use of electronic monitoring bracelets on settler extremists amid the latest uptick in attacks on Palestinians.
Zini thinks this will be a more effective tool than the current one, which has been issuing restraining orders that ban suspects from the West Bank, Channel 12 says.
Zini has not gone as far as to urge Defense Minister Israel Katz to reverse his directive banning administrative detention against Jewish suspects.
The Shin Bet uses the draconian tool, which allows for the detention of suspects without due process, against thousands of Palestinians. Until Katz’s directive earlier this year, it was also used against just over a dozen Jewish suspects.
Channel 12 says Katz currently does not intend to reverse the order.
