the bethlehem human rights organization. the fundamental principles in terms the firearms used by law enforcement officials, these provide that live fire may only be used when there is an imminent threat of death or injury. in other circumstances, the killings may be recorded as extra judicial. in addition, as an occupying force, the israeli army should also be subject to several restrictions in terms of the international law. >> and several human rights organizations are arguing that fuel transparent investigation into all the killings and shootings must be held, otherwise the israeli government itself could be complicit in deaths that have no legal justification in international or indeed israeli law. mike hannah, al jazeera, west jerusalem. after i filed that report, there was another stabbing incident in north of israel.

four israelis were injured. two soldiers amongest them. here's mike's update. >> in this particular case, the police say that the assailant was arrested. a number of these incidents, the assailants have been shot dead on the spot, leading to claims by several human rights organizations that police are using excessive force in terms of dealing with the issue. the police themselves say that each and every situation is dealt with as the situation demands. they insist that in each of the cases as the palestinians are shot and kills, the police officers have felt their lives threatened or the lives of those close by. well, once again, these allegations being made by human rights organizations are unlikely to be any reaction from the israeli government, any normal reaction, that is. instead at the end of a cabinet meeting, the israeli government announces that new legislation will be introduced. this is legislation that

establishes prison sentences for those who carry out attacks with stones or fire crackers or any object, also as well, that the parents of minors who take part in such activities will be fined. so there is an intensification of legislation aimed at curtailing the activities of those who wish to demonstrate but one part of the israeli population not satisfied with the current situation at all, the palestinian israeli segment, 20% of the total population, they have called for a general strike on tuesday to protest against the netanyahu government and demonstrations manned in min israeli areas through the course of the week. >> in gaza city, dozens of people have been to the funeral of a pregnant woman and her 3-year-old daughter killed in an israeli airstrike. as we reported earlier, israel says it was targeting a hamas

force, as it was on its way to a meeting of senior isil commanders in the western iraqi town, which is about 5 kilometers away from the border with syria. now in the statement from the military it said that it would release the names of those who were killed in that strike, however, it made the point of saying that it did not know the condition of baghdadi. now, it needs to be said that over the past year, there have been several reports that have said that baghdadi has either been seriously wounded in various attacks by the iraqi military. those reports have either been denied by isil or no evidence was ever presented to prove that baghdadi was in serious condition or seriously poor health condition. but really, it does lend to the mystique of a man who is very rarely ever seen in public, a man who, of course, is perhaps

the most wanted in the world, a man who also has a $10 million bounty on his head. >> the russian president vladimir putin has met the defense minister. they talked about their shared aim of defeating isil. well, russia has released these pictures of airstrike and it has says it has destroyed 53 isil positions. they say that the meeting was held to make sure that both sides share the objective. as the russian airstrikes continue, they are struggling to defend their captured territories as zanea hoder explains. >> they are pushing in opposition territory, the syrian army says its forces have taken ground in the hamid country side. this is the first major coordinated assault by the syrian army and the russian air force, since moscow intervened in the conflict. for the syrian government, the

threat here is not from isil, but opposition groups. >> the rebels are losing because they are coming under attack, isil, the russian army. the russian airstrikes are weakening the rebels. they are no longer advancing. they are trying to hang on to territory, especially in aleepa. >> and in aleppo, they have lost ground to isil who have stormed into the northern countryside. it was the most significant advance by the armed group in months. the opposition says isil haunched the atrawl while rebel forces were focused on reinforcing their defenses on other fronts. the army and its allies are within firing range of the road, cutting it with besieged rebel'd areas.

and now isil is close to serious commercial capital. >> people in aleppo feel the world has abandoned them. russia is hitting their rebels and into the is i will. the so- -- isil. the so-called friends of the opposition are providing little help. we need immediate help to stop isil's advance and russian strikes. >> on the ground, the russian officials are fighting back. the government with russian backing is just as determined. it wants to end the presence of the opposition. >> before the campaign, the rebels had the upper hand and were threatening the government on a number of fronts, especially in the province of latakia. it has put the rebels on the defensive. they are facing pressure from many fronts, and from many enemies. the taliban has claimed responsibility for an attack on

as was his -- objectively reasonable as was his response to that threat. >> ott only was officer logan required to make a split second decision but it was a reasonable one. he had no information to suggest that the weapon was anything but a real handgun. >> a grand jury in cleveland will decide if the police officers involved are to be charged. allen fisher, al jazeera. the polish parliament has elected a new prime minister who must now start reconstruction in the country, after two devastating earthquakes. k.p. sharma orly. as leader he will have to deal with minorities protesting about a new constitution and the fuel increase in the aftermath of those recent earthquakes. well, voting is over in
