The Israeli army is both respected and feared as a fighting force. But
now the country's military is facing a backlash at home and abroad for
its treatment of children in the West Bank, occupied territory.
Coming
up, a joint investigation by Four Corners and The Australian newspaper
reveals evidence that shows the army is targeting Palestinian boys for
arrest and detention. Reporter John Lyons travels to the West Bank to
hear the story of children who claim they have been taken into custody,
ruthlessly questioned and then allegedly forced to sign confessions
before being taken to court for sentencing.
He meets Australian
lawyer Gerard Horton, who's trying to help the boys who are arrested,
and talks to senior Israeli officials to examine what's driving the
army's strategy.
The program focuses on the stories of three
boys. In two cases the army came for the children in the middle of the
night, before taking them to unknown locations where they are
questioned.
