Behave

The use of the term “herds” to describe the desecration of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque has no legal basis or agreed upon custom, but rather places these settlers in a gray area.
The most accurate description of the settlers storming the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque is “armed militias,” since the settlers move through specific institutions that openly carry weapons.

The customary rules of international law say:
An armed militia is a military or paramilitary unit, which may not consist of professional soldiers but who have been trained to perform military tasks as reserve forces.
This trend in using the term militias is supported by what was recently revealed about the fact that the Ministry of the Occupying Army, settlement associations, and the occupation municipality formed armed militias of settlers whose goal is to carry out “security” tasks and intervene with equipment and weapons until the army arrives.
Let us call actions and things by their proper names, for a pioneer does not deceive his people.
