HCJ 1838/09 - Abu Rokaya et al. v. GOC Southern Command Respondent's Response

The military’s response in HaMoked’s petition to allow three B’Tselem workers to enter Gaza in order to document and examine the human rights situation there following the war. The respondent claims the petition must be rejected due to “clear security considerations”, since, in light of the grave security situation in Gaza following the war, there is a danger to the petitioners lives and to the lives of the soldiers and workers at the border crossings through which the petitioners wish to enter Gaza.
