Family of American teen beaten by Israeli police speaks out: It was "not a justified act"
Tensions are escalating in the Middle East with fears that war could be imminent.
On Monday, dozens of rockets were fired in a single hour. Israeli officials say 85 total were fired by Hamas, and the military wing of that terror group has confirmed they fired those rockets.

Earlier, five Hamas members were killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza - and Israel has since given this operation an official name: Operation Protective Edge.
The beating of an American teen at the hands of Israeli police has not helped matters, even though an Israeli official says if the allegations are true, "Israeli police involved will have to pay a price."

I noticed he was wearing a hood when the police were "beating" him. I'm pretty sure he was not singing church hyms dressed as such. If you want to play with the big boys, you have to accept the consequences whether that's getting your ass kicked or worse. Hey kid wake up, you're not in Kansas – I mean the US anymore. Obviously the Israel police have not been trained in hand holding like the US Law Enforcement.
