Two soldiers serving as security guards at a facility used by the Navy's elite commando unit were indicted on Thursday on charges of racially-motivated aggravated assault. The two are accused of attacking a group of Israeli Druze youths at an Atlit beachfront two weeks ago.

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.

Comment: At least the Israelis are still prosecuting their own people for assault. Take note these young men were doing what they have seen moslem Arabs doing to the Jews their whole lives. How ironic they attacked an Israeli boarder guard.
