2 Soldiers Charged
With Burying Youths
Tel Aviv (JTA) — The Israel
Defense Force arrested two
soldiers who are charged with
burying alive four Palestinian
youths near Nablus. Addi-
tional arrests are expected,
the IDF announced last
Sunday.
The youths were rescued by
Palestinian villagers.
None of the soldiers has
been identified, but a Jewish
settler from the Gush
Emunim settlement of Eilon
Moreh near Nablus was
named as an accomplice. The
settler, Nissim Haba, has
denied the allegation.
According to unofficial
accounts, the incident oc-
curred when several soldiers
remained in Salem village
after IDF troops quelled
Palestinian rioting there.
Villagers claim the troops
called in a bulldozer to erect
an earth rampart around the
village, which had been
placed under curfew.
Soldiers, accompanied by
Haba, reportedly entered
homes in the village and
ordered youths to clear away
burning tires and rock bar-
ricades. The youths reported-
ly threw rocks at the
bulldozer and its driver.
After being beaten, the
youths were ordered to lie on
the ground, and the bulldozer
dumped earth on top of them.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1988
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Under
emergency regulations Israel
has retained from the British
Mandate more than 40 years
ago, Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir signed a back-to-work
order that ended the 11-day
strike of government hos-
pitals.
Shamir acted last week
after the Cabinet voted 11 to
ten to support the move. The
ministers preferred to invoke
the emergency regulations in-
stead of seeking an injunction
from a labor court. An injunc-
tion could be appealed by the
strikers to the Supreme
Court, prolonging the
walkout.
Many hospital maintenance
workers, service and ad-
personnel
ministrative
reported back to work. Some
2,700 physicians who had
been curtailing their services
at a different hospital each
day, on a rotating basis,
returned to normal work
schedules. They ended their
job action when the Finance
Ministry promised to discuss
their demands for second
shifts with overtime pay.
The non-medical personnel
also may get a hearing, now
that they are back on the job.
The hospital workers are
seeking the same salary in-
creases and fringe benefits
-won by their counterparts
employed by Kupat Holim,
the Histadrut health care
agency.
Human Rights Report
Easy On Israel
Washington (JTA) — The
State Department releasted
its report on human rights
practices in more than 160
countries for 1987, which is
submitted annually to the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee and the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
In response to a question at
the briefing about the report,
Richard Schifter, assistant
secretary of state for human
rights and humanitarian af-
fairs, ruled out any possibili-
ty that the United States
would cut aid to Israel
because of Washington's
criticism of the way Israel is
handling the unrest on the
West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The section on Israel in the
1,358-page report states, "As
in the past, the most signifi-
cant human rights problems
for Israel in 1987 derived
from the strained relations
between the Israeli authori-
ties and some Israelis on the
one hand and the Arab inhab-
itants of the occupied ter-
ritories on the other hand:'
Schifter said that since the
report only covers the period
through the end of December,
the situation in the ter-
ritories since then will he
dealt with next year.
Scattered through the
report are descriptions of the
situation of Jews in various
countries.
