The ruling comes as the open-fire policy has drawn international criticism.
Human rights groups say the supreme court’s decision effectively gives a green light to the Israeli army to continue the use of snipers and live fire against unarmed peaceful Palestinian protesters.
Multiple human rights organizations have come out in full condemnation of Israel’s violent raids on the massive peaceful protest marches in Gaza. More than 100 Palestinians have been martyred by Israeli fire since the protests began on 30 March, drawing international condemnations of the Israeli regime for its use of excessive force against unarmed Palestinians.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) slammed Israel’s killing of Palestinian protesters as “unlawful” and “calculated”, saying those officials who authorized the Israeli military to use lethal force ahead of the mass rallies in Gaza are to blame for the bloodshed.
