I have heard the story before that this has happened on an incidental basis, so I guess it is true.
You see, that's what happens in a war against terrorism.
Of course it is oooohhh sooo wrong to force a Palestinian civilian to ask a Palestinian terrorist - dressed as a civilian - to surrender. I would prefer a normal detective making such an arrest in a civilised way after ringing the doorbell, just as I would prefer the terrorist to come out of his house unarmed with his hands raised above his head.
Alas, we live in an oooohhh sooo wrong world of which the Middle East seems to be the oooohhh sooo wrong center. I don't want to start 'bashing' but we all know why. We are dealing with Muslim fanatics here, who can not accept the very existence of Israel and hate the Western values it stands for (like an independant Judiciary).
I know that the terrorists of Hamas and the Islamitic Jihad value Israeli civilians. But only as legitimate targets...
Living under the constant threat of suicide attacks against its civilian population, in busses, restaurants and shopping malls, it is a small miracle that the moral aspects of these subjects are openly debated in Israel and that Israeli judges are looking over the shoulder of soldiers who are fighting terrorism.
And as Damo1977 pointed out: the Palestinians not only routinely target the Israeli civilian population but use human shields (Rachel Core) as well - and of course blame the Israeli's when things turn out ugly...

It may be a bit blunt, it may even be politically incorrect, but there's a big bang of truth in that quote...
