An Israeli military court sentenced three Israeli servicemen to ten days behind bars as a disciplinary measure for "killing" a Palestinian man in northern Ramallah during a picnic. The Israeli army radio said late Tuesday that the three soldiers, all from Beit Eil settlement, had fired at the man in Ein Yabroud killing him instantly. The soldiers claimed that they came under fire and when they returned fire they killed the unarmed youth. The soldiers had gone on their picnic without a permit from their superiors, the radio noted.
