Settler funeral sparks Hebron clashes

Emotions are running high on both sides

Jewish settlers and Palestinians have clashed in the West Bank city of Hebron, leaving a 14-year-old Palestinian girl dead and several people injured.
Palestinians threw stones at the settlers, who were returning from the funeral of the Israeli soldier and fellow settler, killed in a roadside ambush by Palestinian militants on Friday.

Two Jewish settlers and their son were also killed in that attack.

The settlers opened fire, hitting the girl, Nizin Jamjoun, as she stood on the balcony of her house, according to her brother.

Israeli military sources said the army had treated two Palestinians and an Israeli policeman who were injured in the rioting.

“The army and police are trying to stand between the two sides and keep them apart,” a military spokesman told the French news agency, AFP.

However, several Palestinian witnesses said soldiers had done little to stop the attacks by the settlers.

Funerals

The mood in Hebron was already fraught as Israeli troops reimposed a curfew ahead of the funeral of Israeli soldier and local resident, 21-year-old Elazar Leibovitz.

He was killed during a roadside ambush by militants. Settler couple Yosef and Hannah Dikstein, and their nine-year-old son, Shuvel, who also died in the attack, were buried in the West Bank settlement of Psagot on Sunday.

They had nine other children. Two, aged 12 and two-years-old, were injured in the attack.

Friday’s ambush followed pledges by Palestinian militants to avenge an Israeli air strike that killed 15 people last Monday, including nine children and Salah Shehada, head of the armed wing of Hamas.

The BBC’s Chris Morris in Jerusalem says Hebron is a tense place at the best of times – a few hundred heavily guarded Jewish settlers live on occupied land in the centre of the city, protected by the Israeli army and surrounded by more than 100,000 Palestinians.

Arrests

Elsewhere in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers arrested three suspected militants in the village of Burkin, near Jenin.

Among those detained was Mohammmed Abu Tabikh, a local leader of Islamic Jihad.

Also in Burkin, Israeli troops ordered the family of the late Majid Tayeb, a member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, to leave their home. An Israeli tank then destroyed the building.

Tayeb was killed last year when his car blew up. Palestinians blame Israel for his death.

It’s these psycho-settlers that are actually the biggest problem of all. Now I don’t want to hear a word anymore about “Palestinian being terrorists” and Jews defending their country. There are terrorists among both parties, I hope we can all agree on this.
