Arab Rioting Expands to Hevron
The IDF asserted the incident an “illegal and violent disturbance,” and soldiers responded to the rioters using riot-dispersal means.
The Arabs were protesting the Israeli Government declaration on Sunday that the Jewish Say recognizes the Jewish sites of the Machpelah Cave in Hevron and Rachel’s Tomb in Bethlehem as national heritage sites.
Palestinian Authority sources stated that the decision was a violation of the accords, is perilous, and “will add to the religious complexities of the conflict in that it could lead to dangerous results.”
The Judea Citizens Council responded: “It’s no surprise that the Arabs are not pleased with the decision about the Machpelah Cave; as far as they’re concerned, we have no correct to be in Tel Aviv either. We congratulate the government on its decision, and call upon it not to cave in to Arab terrorism and violence.”
The replace with list of national heritage sites did not include either the Machpelah Cave or Rachel’s Tomb; these were added only after hefty pressure from the nationalist stop of the spectrum.
This past Friday, the customary weekly Arab riots in Bil’in - held every Friday for five years against the placement of the anti-terror fence - were buttressed by two additional riot flashpoints: Near N’vei Tzuf in western Binyamin and at the Arab village of Umm Salmona, near Bethlehem, where rioters threw stones and Jewish civilians and soldiers. Arabs have rioted before near N’vei Tzuf, lightly injuring two Border Guard policemen with rocks a month ago.
