rying out orders of their

at the highest echelons of
the defense establishment.
Capt. Mordecai Artzi,
identified as operations offi-
cer of the Hebron military
government, bolstered that
line of defense in his tes-
timony at the court martial
trial on Tuesday. He said
the area military comman-
der, Lt. Col. Shalom
Lugassi, had given him and
other officers instructions
which included beating up
local residents, harassing
them and smashing their
wristwatches as forms of
punishment.
"We were told to collect
them, 150 or 200 at a time,
whoever happened to be
around. It didn't matter if
they had demonstrated or
not. We brought them back
to headquarters for ques-
tioning," Artzi said. He was

seven accused of beating
and persecuting local Arab
residents in the Hebron
area during disturbances
there last March and April.
Mofaz, who was deputy
military governor, tes-
tified last week that his
orders to use violence
came directly from Chief
of Staff Gen. Rafael Eitan
and Defense Minister
Ariel Sharon.
Mofaz repeated his alle-
gations in court on Tues-
day, despite the prosecutor's
insistence that all Israeli
soldiers were under stand-
ing orders not to strike local
West Bank residents. •
According to Mofaz,
"when a senior officer or-
dered us to deal with de-
tainees, we understood from
the spirit behind the words
that we had to beat them
up."
The prosecution contends
that the accused acted in a
brutal manner of their own
volition, in violation of their
orders.
The seven men were or-
dered court martialed

ment who served on the

The movement based its
warning on a military gov-
ernment document which
disclosed that Mini§ter of

Yuval Neeman of the
ultra-nationalist Tehiya
faction, and his aide, Tehiya
MK Hanan Porat, are set-
ting up "supervisory
teams," ostensibly to guard
state lands against Arab
encroachment.
These teams "may well be
used to deport Arabs op-
posed to Israeli rule over the
territory," Peace Now
warned. The movement said
it learned that residents of
Kiryat Arba, the Gush
Emunim stronghold over-
looking Hebron, plan to
"persuade and pressure"
shopowners in the old mar-
ket place of Arab Hebron to
get out to make room for
