"Ben Gvir's Policy: Armed Civilians Allowed to Keep Guns After Shooting Terrorists"

Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, has reportedly agreed with the police on a new policy that allows civilians who shoot terrorists during attacks to keep their weapons and avoid being interrogated. The aim is to encourage citizens to bear arms and use them when necessary, as part of efforts to increase the number of armed Israelis on the streets to combat terror attacks. The new guidelines will apply under specific conditions, including if the incident is a nationalistic terror attack, the shooter acted in self-defense, only the attacker was hit or killed, and the civilian stopped firing once the danger had passed. However, there are concerns that this policy change could lead to unjustified use of firearms.
