Tel Aviv: Eight teenagers have been sentenced to jail for carrying out a series of neo-Nazi attacks that shocked the nation.
They've got one to seven years in jail. All of them moved to Israel from the former Soviet Union and were found guilty of attacking religious Jews, gays and drug addicts.
Searches of their homes yielded Nazi uniforms, portraits of Adolf Hitler, knives, guns and TNT.
Video clips found on computers seized by police showed the suspects dressed in typical skinhead neo-Nazi clothes, in the process of assaulting their victims. This follows the arrests of Neo-Nazi groups in 2007.
They were charged with offences including conspiracy to commit a crime, assault, racial incitement and the distribution of racist materials.
The suspects all migrated to Israel under the Law of Return, which allows anyone with at least one Jewish grandparent to become a citizen.
But their links to Judaism are slender, with most qualifying for citizenship through grandparents or distant family connections.
