הכנסת אישרה: איסור שימוש ב'מי סקאנק' בתותחי מים

הערכה

The Knesset has moved to restrict police use of water cannons to clean water only, banning the malodorous 'Skunk' spray. This legislative change addresses longstanding complaints about excessive force and degrading treatment during protests. The accompanying documentation requirement creates a new accountability mechanism, though exceptions for national security could limit its effectiveness. The practical impact will depend on how courts balance transparency against police claims of operational necessity.
