An Israeli group is set to give settlers attack dogs, which have been trained for months, so that they can be used against Palestinians.
The 'Civilian dog Handlers Battalion of Judea and Samaria (the Israel-occupied West Bank)' is to provide the animals. The group says these canines will be useful against potential rallies by the Palestinians in support of their bid to seek recognition by the UN, Reuters reported.
"These dogs are trained to attack upon command,” said American-Israeli settler leader and dog trainer, Mike Guzovsky.
A promotional video has also been provided, simulating dog attacks on a Palestinian 'infiltrator.'
Meanwhile, there are reports suggesting that the Israeli military is arming settlers with tear gas and stun grenades to confront Palestinians ahead of the planned Palestinian independence announcement.
The Palestinian Authority is to formally present the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon with the request for membership in the world body on September 20, when the UN General Assembly is holding its 66th session.
Israel's Ministry of Military Affairs has paid around USD 22 million to purchase so-called 'crowd dispersal' weaponry to confront expected protests.
