MK Moti Yogev (Jewish Home) has called on Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon (Likud) to clarify the new IDF rules of engagement.
"The soldiers need to know that they can use their weapons. A terrorist who tries to stab someone must be stopped, at least by shooting him in the legs and not limiting ourselves to firing in the air," said MK Yogev.
Central Command head Roni Numeh announced last week that soldiers are no long permitted to fire at terrorists unless there is an immediate threat to life.
