<div id="divLead"><strong>An Israeli group is set to give settlers attack dogs, which have been trained for months, so that they can be used against Palestinians. </strong></div>
<p>The &#8216;Civilian dog Handlers Battalion of Judea and Samaria (the Israel-occupied West Bank)&#8217; is to provide the animals. The group says these canines will be useful against potential rallies by the Palestinians in support of their bid to seek recognition by the UN, Reuters reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;These dogs are trained to attack upon command,” said American-Israeli settler leader and dog trainer, Mike Guzovsky.</p>
<p>A promotional video has also been provided, simulating dog attacks on a Palestinian &#8216;infiltrator.&#8217;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, there are reports suggesting that the Israeli military is arming settlers with tear gas and stun grenades to confront Palestinians ahead of the planned Palestinian independence announcement.</p>
<p>The Palestinian Authority is to formally present the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon with the request for membership in the world body on September 20, when the UN General Assembly is holding its 66th session.</p>
<p>Israel&#8217;s Ministry of Military Affairs has paid around USD 22 million to purchase so-called &#8216;crowd dispersal&#8217; weaponry to confront expected protests.</p>
