Five Arab youths from Dahariya went on trial for manslaughter here today in connection with the death of 22 year-old Esther Ohanna, an Israeli woman hit by a rock while driving through that West Bank town last January.

The accused, who were apprehended less than a week after the incident, are also charged with membership in an illegal organization, incitement of school children, barricading roads and stoning Israeli vehicles. They pleaded not guilty to all of the charges. The trial was postponed for a month.
