Israeli army courts more soldiers over West Bank beatings
In Jerusalem the army said it court-martialed a few soldiers and punished others for beating Palestinians in violation of policy as violence surged in the West Bank and Gaza. Palestinians at Al Amari refugee camp described soldiers herding 10 residents onto a bus, beating them, and dumping them off. Maj. Gen. Amram Mitzna said there were too many exceptions to the policy and that inquiries are ongoing. Others reported night raids in Kalandia and Jalazoon with several more beatings and detentions unreported by name.

He floated similar high school testing, with no decision yet, at a London AIDS meeting.
