'10	Report: Israel Police breach law when arresting children in Silwan A new B'Tselem report, Caution: Children Ahead, shows that, over the past year, at least 81 Palestinian minors from Silwan, East Jerusalem, have been arrested or detained for questioning on suspicion of stone throwing. Many were arrested at night, some were questioned without a parent present, and many said the arrest was violent. These methods breach Israel's Youth Law and other laws it applies to East Jerusalem.  Cabinet decision on Gaza is welcome; test will be in implementation B'Tselem expresses its hope that the decision to ease exports from Gaza stems from an understanding that Israel must stop using its control over the border crossings for collective punishment of all Gazans, and notes that the real test will be in implementation. Towards 2011 A personal video message from Jessica Montell, B'Tselem's executive director.
