Israeli Atty. Gen. Yitzhak Zamir recommended that the government court-martial an army officer and discipline eight security men over the 1984 killing of two Arab bus hijackers. The bus was seized by four Gaza Strip Arabs, then stormed by troops. Two hijackers and an Israeli woman soldier were shot to death, and two Arabs were beaten to death in army custody. Zamir followed a government commission’s recommendation that Gen. Yitzhak Mordechai, Israel’s chief infantry and paratroop officer, and eight others face charges of causing grievous bodily harm.
