the soldiers began a “suspect arrest procedure,” which included opening fire at one of the suspects

Seems like a slightly harsh procedure to arrest someone with stones as their weapon.

Without opening a discussion about the conflict itself or justifying anything in the article, I will say that as someone who's been on the receiving end of an adult throwing 5-10 pounds rocks at full strength at them, I truly think you're underestimating the deadly damage it can cause.

This isn't a toddler throwing pebbles, such a rock hitting a human will break bones on contact and can absolutely kill of it hits someone's head
