6 Israelis charged with hate crimes

Two of the six are soldiers

The six, including two soldiers and a minor, were arrested in the southern Israeli city of Beer Sheva on suspicion of carrying out a series of attacks against Palestinian citizens of Israel that began in December, Israeli Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

During the investigation, police said they found knives, clubs and metal rods used during assaults motivated out of a "nationalist-racist motive" to "prevent the assimilation of Jews and Arabs in Beer Sheva."
