Dozens of Israel Police officers were injured by their fellow
policemen on Thursday during a training exercise simulating violent
civil unrest.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said about 45 officers sustained
light injuries while practicing riot control techniques.

The majority were hurt while scuffling with each other while five
others were injured when a police van overturned, Rosenfeld said.

He would not confirm media reports that the vehicle flipped after a
policeman fell asleep at the wheel.
