Palestine & Israel: Palestinians use laser pointers to protest West Bank occupation
26 Aug 2021 -- Categories: Non-aviation incidents
Palestinians used laser pointers and air horns to annoy illegal Israeli settlers during a weekslong protest. The demonstrations were said to be "grassroots" and not inspired by the Fatah or Hamas movements.

COMMENTARY FROM LASERPOINTERSAFETY.COM
It does not appear the laser pointers were being used against police or soldiers, and it does not appear that the demonstrators were trying to harm persons. Instead, the laser use was to "annoy" illegal settlers and to gain attention for the cause.
