		Confrontation with the security services frequently appears to have been sought by both the demonstrators and the security forces themselves, who are aware of the symbolic locations (or ''flashpoints'' as they are termed by the IDF) and are often waiting in force for the demonstrators at the point.
		Sometimes the security forces did not arrive at the symbolic location at which the demonstration was being held and the crowd dispersed after a demonstration without incident.
		When security forces fear that there is a risk to members of the public, due to accident or public disorder, it is their duty to try to ensure adequate medical facilities are available to protect life and reduce the risk of harm to the public.

		That night saw a culmination of the anger at the Israeli policy of surrounding Jerusalem with settlements, whose every brick is a symbol of Israeli contempt for international law, combined with the hostile response to repeated Israeli threats to dismantle the renovations of the sacred Al Aqsa mosque.
		The Israeli army also made use of helicopter gunships, which gives rise to the suspicion that their intention was to kill and injure, rather than to subdue or contain the protests.
		The Israeli government insists that the security of Israeli citizens is of paramount importance and that until the PA can guarantee to enforce that security, there can be no further progress towards peace.

		"Israeli and Palestinian leaders should condemn these acts publicly and without equivocation, and instruct security personnel to stop these attacks and bring the perpetrators to justice," he said.
