An Israeli court imposed fines yesterday on 10 Jewish religious zealots who invaded Scottish and French mission schools on September 10. The defendants, part of a group of more than 100 such demonstrators, also were given, suspended six-month prison terms.
Eight of the youths were fined 200 pounds ($66) each and the two others were fined 100 pounds ($33) each. The raids were aimed at mission schools in several cities. The actions had been organized by the Society of Activities of the Torah Camp.
