Arab Construction Workers Must Wear Hardhats with "X" for Army Snipers to Focus







It was found this morning that Arab construction workers (with Israeli citizenship) who are working in a construction site inside the Knesset compound are marked with a red “X” that is drawn on their helmets, to enable an armed sniper who is deployed in the site to watch them all the time.

The Knesset spokesman to Yner: “This is a high security zone. We have a big dilemma as we wanted to employ the bigger number possible of workers with Israeli citizenship for the one hand, and our obligation to safety & security on the other hand. The construction workers are marked with a red “X” that is drawn on their helmets, to enable an armed sniper who is deployed in the site to watch them, for security reasons”
