You can also take wire cutters and clip the tips off military rounds to make them effectively "dum dums", they are slso much more unstable in flight. This is terrible for accuracy, but improves wounding since the bullets are much more likely to tumble and shatter on impact than to pass straight through.

clipping the tips off of m16's is a good way to cause miss-feeds and get your arse killed with a poorly timed gun jam. I have some IDF ammo and shell casings that I picked up here and there and have never seen any hollow point or cross hatch rounds. All of them are millitary issue with
the TZ or TZZ stamp around the primer from 50's to 223's.

The Israeli's also use the Russian round, (thanks to the great supplies they captured over the border in Lebanon), so the caliber is not an indicator of who shot it.

The fact that the rounds were not military issue is the only way to establish that the rounds were fired by the PA not the IDF.

My advice to the UN is when one runs with the rat pack, one tends to be bitten.
