The Israeli human rights organization B'Ttselem on Tuesday called on the Israel Defense Forces to cease using a .22 caliber bullet - known in the army as the Toto bullet - to disperse demonstrations, and to refrain from using live ammunition in circumstances that do not pose a danger to human life.
B'Ttselem's call followed the release of the conclusions of a preliminary investigation into the death of a Palestinian youth in Aida refugee camp on Monday. The investigation found that Abed a-Rahman Abdallah, 13, had been hit in the chest by a Toto bullet fired from a Ruger sniper's rifle. read more:
