The Israeli army decided Wednesday to court-martial a soldier whose beating by a Palestinian mob last week shocked the country and froze the peace process. Cpl. Assaf Meyara, 19, will be charged with not carrying a loaded weapon and leaving his base without permission. Meanwhile in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Palestinians stoned Israeli troops and motorists Wednesday in the most widespread West Bank clashes in months. Israeli army gunfire killed one Palestinian and injured 67.
