Palestinians attack settlers visiting the Tomb of the Patriarchs
By Nadav Shragai and Yuval Azoulay, Haaretz Correspondents
Tags: Tomb of the Patriarchs 

Palestinians attacked two Beit El residents on Saturday as they made their way from Kiryat Arba to the Tomb of the Patriarchs.

One of the victims was struck in the face, and his friend called security services. When they arrived at the scene of the incident at Erez Lane, the Palestinians hurled stones at them and attempted to attack them as well.

Noam Arnon, the spokesman for Hebron's settlers, said that police were notified several days ago about the lack of security presence in Erez Lane, which Hebron's Jews use to get to the Tomb of the Patriarchs from Kiryat Arba.

An Israeli was lightly wounded earlier on Saturday by gunfire south of the Palestinian village of Kalandia. The incident occurred early Saturday morning, when Palestinians opened fire on an Israeli vehicle traveling near the West Bank settlement of Alei Zahav.

Israel Defense Forces soldiers were called to the scene and the man was evacuated to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva for medical treatment.

A Border Policeman was also lightly injured in Na'alin, after Palestinians hurled stones to protest the construction of the separation barrier there.
