Indictments filed against four soldiers serving as security guards at naval
facility accused of shocking racially-motivated assault against group of
Druze youths at Atlit beach, one victim a Border Police officer
According to the indictment, one of the soldiers called out: "They are
Arabs, they must die" during the attack. Two other soldiers from their unit,
who also took part in the attack, were indicted on charges of aggravated
assault.
The altercation occurred on July 19th. According to the indictment filed by
the Military Prosecution, two of the soldiers left their base while drunk,
with the intent of seeking out Arab visitors at the beachfront neighboring
the base. Several Israelis of Druze descent were at the beach at the time,
one of them a Border Guard officer.
The soldiers approached one of the civilians and asked if he and his friends
were Arabs. Upon receiving a negative answer, the soldiers suddenly yelled
out "There are Arabs here." They then attacked the Border Guard officer, who
tried to flee towards the base. At this point two of the soldiers' friends
stepped out and also began beating the officer, using sticks and, at one
point, the butt of their M16 assault rifles.
Even after the incident was over, the defendants said "all Arabs should be
killed."
As a result of the grievous assault, the Border Guard officer required
medical attention and a week's time to recuperate.

The usual suspect in this group won't be able to find it witin themself to
criticise anything anyone associated with Israel does.
