Death.TrapsThis report examines the consistent use of force against Palestinians at Israeli military checkpoints in the West Bank. With nine affidavits given by eye-witnesses to each case, the report describes the circumstances under which the shootings/killings of Palestinians took place, and assesses the legitimacy of Israel's use of force. Given the fact that regulations on the use of firearms lack clarity, this study concludes that Israeli military aggression is easily overlooked, and thus perpetuated.
