Armed prayers and pitched tents in fight for land
Jewish settlers on Friday (21/7) blocked main roads in the West
Bank to protest against Israel's plans to hand over more land to
the Palestinians. They burned tyres, threw stones at Arabs and
prayed. The settlers fear their safety will be at risk from Arab
militants when Israeli troops are replaced by Palestinian
policemen in parts of the West Bank. They also voiced their anger
over the killing of two Israeli hikers, one from the Beit El
settlement, in Wadi Kelt on Tuesday. The Israeli army blamed their
deaths on Palestinian guerrillas who oppose the PLO's peace deal
with Israel. Meanwhile, Palestinians traded insults with Jewish
settlers near the West Bank village of al-Khader. The settlers
began putting up tents and planting trees on a hill to assert
their claim to the land. The villagers insisted the land belongs
to them. Israeli security forces prevented any violence.
