[0:07] This is the CBS [music] Evening News.
[0:09] Susan Spencer reporting. Good evening.
[0:11] In a move likely to further inflame
[0:13] tensions in Israel and the occupied
[0:15] territories, the government there
[0:17] announced today that it will deport nine
[0:19] Arab prisoners, all implicated in last
[0:21] month's bloody riots. The Israelis also
[0:24] said that they will free nearly 200
[0:26] prisoners. What effect all this will

[1:08] served long sentences. 27-year-old
[1:11] Muhammad Abu Samara of Gaza had been
[1:14] jailed four times for burning the
[1:15] Israeli flag and distributing banned
[1:18] literature. The sister of attorney
[1:20] Bashir Ahmed Kyrie of Ramla said for a
[1:23] Palestinian deportation is the crulest
[1:25] punishment.
[1:26] >> We are in our home and we are in our
[1:29] land and we can stay in our land.
[1:31] >> They have served prison terms. They have
