20 years in jail for throwing stones and firecrackers in Israel

"An extra 1,000 officers are patrolling Jerusalem’s streets, and observation balloons now hover over Arab neighborhoods where about 800 youths have been arrested since July for throwing stones, gasoline bombs and fireworks. The Israeli cabinet this week increased the punishment for such offenses to 10 or 20 years in prison."
