   An IDF spokesman said late Monday that Israel was checking a report
   that an 18-year-old Palestinian from Hebron was beaten to death by
   Border Police officers.

   The youth was taken to hospital Monday night where he was declared
   dead, apparently the result of a beating that Palestinian witnesses
   said was inflicted by Border Police.

   According to the witnesses, the youth, Amram Abu Hamediye, was working
   at the Andalus petrol station in the industrtial zone in south Hebron
   when a Border Patrol jeep patrol arrived on the scene at around 8:30
   P.M.

   The Border Police checked a group of youths and then pulled Hamediye
   onto the jeep and drove away. About 15 minutes later the jeep
   returned, and drove through the gas statuion, throwing the body of the
   youth out of the jeep without stopping.

   His friends took him to the hospital, where sources said the body was
   covered with brusies and he had injuries to his head.

   Hospital officials were quoted as saying the youth was hit with rifle
   butts.
