HEBRON, WEST BANK — In a bold move towards streamlining military procedure, the Israeli Defense Forces on Friday unveiled their new ‘Stop And Shoot’ protocol, designed to combine the time-consuming steps of demanding civilians halt their vehicles and subsequently firing upon them into a single, efficient action.

According to military spokesperson Colonel Uri Blintzk, this innovation is expected to save up to 36 seconds per checkpoint encounter. ‘We found the traditional arrest, escort, and interrogation process unnecessarily burdensome. By simply instructing drivers to stop and then shooting immediately, we achieve operational goals without all the administrative hassle,’ Blintzk explained at a press briefing, while pointing to a diagram labeled ‘Encounter Flow: See Car, Shout Stop, Pull Trigger.’

Friday’s case involved the Abu Haikal family, who, upon halting in strict compliance with orders, were promptly met with small-arms fire, resulting in the death of their 7-month-old son, Sam Fahd Abu Haikal, and injuries to both parents. Military officials expressed satisfaction with the improved throughput. ‘The car stopped, so the procedure worked as intended,’ added private task-force consultant Menachem ‘Quickdraw’ Shamir, before demoing a new hands-free rifle holster for checkpoint guards.

IDF efficiency czar, Ruthie Ivrit, cited the latest incident as ‘a model of seamless process integration.’ She reassured press that, ‘with further refinements, we hope to eliminate all civilian-induced delays within the next fiscal year.’

A nearby colonel was overheard saying, ‘For years, people asked why we issue stop orders if we just open fire anyway. I’m glad we finally have a system that matches our actions.’
