B'Tselem Report: 'Rubber Bullets' Fatal
By Amira Hass, Ha'aretz Palestinian Affairs
Correspondent
At least 57 Palestinians have been killed since
the beginning of the Intifada by "rubber"
bullets, according to a new report issued last
week by B'Tselem, the Israeli Information Center
for Human Rights in the Territories. Of these
fatalities, 28 were children under the age of 17,
and 13 were less than 13 years old. From January
1996 through November 1998, 11 Palestinians were
killed by this ammunition, including five
children. In addition to these fatalities,
hundreds of people have been injured, but exact
figures are not available for injuries.
According to the B'Tselem report, "rubber
bullets, used by the security forces to disperse
demonstrators, are really steel bullets covered
with a thin layer of rubber. The IDF uses these
bullets contending that this ammunition is less
lethal than live fire and is thus appropriate for
situations in which a soldier's life is not
endangered." Yet the B'Tselem report argues that
the number of fatalities shows that "the
ammunition is clearly lethal and should be used
only in life-threatening situations. 'Rubber
bullets' should no longer be used to break up
demonstrations"
Soldiers serving in the central command are given
the following instructions regarding the use of
the rubber-coated steel bullets: They are only to
be used after other methods (such as tear gas,
stun grenades and warning shots fired in the air)
prove ineffective. They should not be fired
within a range of 40 meters and should not be
aimed at children. The bullets should be aimed
only at the legs.
Despite this last instruction, dozens of
Palestinians have been injured in their upper
bodies during the last two years.
In the B'Tselem report, Dr. Robert Kishner wrote
of the injuries sustained by the bullets, "tissue
damage caused by the rubber-coated steel bullet
entering the skin is much greater than the damage
produced by a conventional bullet... and the
internal damage is greater along the path of
these projectiles... children and the elderly are
under greater danger of serious injury or death
from rubber bullets...."
The IDF spokesman told B'Tselem in June 1998 that
rubber bullets were first used in 1989 but proved
to be ineffective. Plastic bullets were then
employed, but when these proved more dangerous
than planned, rubber bullets with steel centers
were introduced in 1990.... firing rubber bullets
does not require special training, but soldiers
do undergo training on this topic.
