Kfar Darom detainees freed
Israel freed scores of pro-settlement activists arrested during a violent Gaza Strip confrontation.
A Beersheba court released the 175 detainees, almost a quarter of them minors, on Thursday after they signed agreements not to take part in violent political protests. The decision to free the detainees, who were arrested after holing up on the roof of a synagogue in the Kfar Darom settlement last week as part of protests against the Gaza withdrawal, ran counter to earlier police pledges to see them prosecuted to the fullest extent.
Several of the protesters were believed to have doused riot police with a chemical irritant as they stormed the synagogue to dislodge them.
