The group is on a mission to Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Former anti-apartheid activists Zackie Achmat and Edwin Cameron are participating in the tour.

"Settlers yelled and cursed at the group," said Avner Inbar, an Israeli accompanying the activists.

Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the activists entered a restricted zone, and three Israelis were arrested for disturbing the peace.

Hebron is home to a holy site revered by both Jews and Muslims and is a frequent flash point for violence.

About 500 Jews live in heavily guarded enclaves in the city, among 160,000 Palestinians.
