Almost any young man walking the streets of this gritty Palestinian neighborhood on the eastern rim of the city can tell you the same thing: when the Israeli border police want to give someone a beating, they take him to the city's deserted industrial area after dark.

Hebron Residents Describe an Israeli Reign of Beatings
Imran Abu Hamdiya, a 17-year-old high school senior, was taken away by four police officers Monday night, residents here said in interviews, and he never came back. Mr. Hamdiya's friends, assuming he might need a hand after receiving blows from a nightstick, went to the city's industrial zone to look for him.

They found his body there, splayed in a pool of blood. When they carried their friend to a local hospital, a doctor delivered his appraisal.

"He died from injuries caused by beating the head and face," said Dr. Mazen Jabari, of Mohtaseb Hospital.
