Agencies - The Zionist judiciary is currently preparing for the establishment of a special military court for Palestinian children in the West Bank that would be the first of its kind since 1967, the Hebrew radio reported on Tuesday.

The broadcast said that the step was taken following a military order signed by the commander of the central region in the Zionist occupation army Gadi Shamni.

It said that the order stipulated appointing judges specialized in dealing with "crimes" of Palestinian minors.

Hebrew daily Yediot Ahronot quoted a Zionist army source as saying that the decision followed the growing number of Palestinian children who were involved in "attacks" against Zionist forces.

The source noted that the number of those minors during the present year neared 400 who were all less than 16 years old.

The paper said that the establishment of those courts was meant to beautify the image of the Zionist entity in the world as far as human rights, especially of children, were concerned.
