Beatings. Brutality Against Israeli POWs in Egypt Listed in Report
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Israeli
authorities have amassed evi-
dence of systematic beatings
and degradation of Israeli
prisoners of war by their
Egyptian captors, which end-
ed only three days before
last month's POW exchange
began, it was learned here.
The evidence, compiled by
the army and the ministry of
defense, will be presented to
the United Nations and the
International Red Cross.
According to the evidence,
every Israeli POW, regard-
less of rank, was subjected
to brutality. Egyptian author-
participated in or permitted
permitted the murder of
POWs, particularly pilots who
had bailed out of their planes
safely. Some prisoners are
believed to have died while
undergoing interrogation, the
Israel presentation will
charge.
Immediately on their cap-
ture, Israeli prisoners were
stripped of their personal be-
longings and papers, their
shoes and socks and helmets
were taken, and their hands
were tied with telephone
wire. They were forced to lie
face down on the floors of
troop-carrier trucks while
their captors repeatedly

kicked them, Israel charges.
In Egyptian prisons, ac-
cording to the alleged evi-
dence, kicks and blows were
administered continuously;
prisoners were placed in soli-
tary confinement and were
forced to wash their faces in
sewage water.
A young armored corps
soldier was tied arm and leg
and beaten all over his body.
Some men were beaten un-
conscious and the beatings
were resumed after they
were revived.
Israel claims that the Red
Cross representatives were
permitted to visit Israeli
POWs only three days before
the POW exchange. The
POWs were then given pa-
jamas, cigarettes and candy.
Some were hastily treated by
Egyptian doctors to cover up
the evidence of ill treatment.
According to Israeli au-
thorities, every one of the re-
turned POWs was in need of
medical treatment and some
were in a state of shock and
could hardly speak when they
got back to Israel. Israeli
physicians detected evidence
of internal injuries in some
of the returned POWs.
The Israeli charges relate
only to prisoners captured by
Egypt. No POWs have been
returned from Syria to date
but the evidence is that at
least 28 Israeli soldiers were
murdered in cold blood by
their Syrian captors.

Humility
As the vine has large and
small clusters of grapes, and
the larger cluster hangs down
lower than the smaller, so is
it among Israel. The greater
the man, the humbler he is.
