Youths indicted for burning Israeli flag
Scores of Neturei Karta members staged a demonstration in the city's Shabbat Square on Sunday evening to coincide with a ceremony held to honor Israel's dead soldiers. Israeli security forces clashed with the protestors when one of the latter torched an Israeli flag just after the "Memorial Day" siren went off. The man identified as Yehiel Hazan was immediately arrested by undercover police and indicted the next day in an expedited procedure. Disorderly conduct and "desecration" of the Israeli flag are among the offenses attributed to Hazan. The Neturei Karta sect has been a thorn in Tel Aviv's side for its vocal criticism of Israel's policies and its mistreatment of the Palestinians.
