During the 1956 Suez War , the Border Police was involved in the Kafr Qasim massacre . On the second day of the war , a curfew was imposed on the Israeli Arab village . Villagers who had worked in the village fields and were apparently unaware of the curfew were shot as they returned to the village , resulting in 49 dead . This event raised a strong protest in the Israeli public and resulted in a landmark Supreme Court ruling on the obligation of soldiers to disobey manifestly illegal orders
