Armed Israeli settlers attack homes in Hebron
IMEMC, Apr 6, 2009

This article was originally published by IMEMC and is republished with permission.

Local sources in Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank, reported on Sunday that nearly 150 armed settlers attacked dozens of Palestinian homes in Jaber, Wadi Al Nasarah, Wadi Al Hasseen, and Al Ras neighborhoods, in addition to attacking homes near the Kiryat Arba settlement, which is northeast of Hebron.

The settlers caused damaged to doors and windows of Palestinian homes and vehicles in the attacked areas, while Israeli soldiers failed to intervene.

Eyewitnesses said that the settlers chanted "death to Arabs" and called for deporting all Arabs and Palestinians out of the country.

The settlers also tried to reoccupy Al Rajaby building in Hebron. It is a Palestinian property that they illegally occupied last year, but were forced to evacuate by an Israeli military court ruling.
