I had not heard of the IDF using that procedure, nor the Israeli High Court outlawing it. Do you have more info? An article I could read? A cite to the High Court's Ruling (the lawyer in me wants to read it)? Thanks! Interesting Kung Fu Jew. I had not heard of the IDF using that procedure, nor the Israeli High Court outlawing it.

Your definition works for me, although it's a slight variation on the U.S. code definition - see the link. What's an unwilling civilian?
