20,000 Jewish pilgrims to descend on Hebron amid settler violence
By Amos Harel
Tags: Jewish World, Hebron 


The security forces are gearing up for trouble this weekend when 20,000 Jews are expected to descend upon Hebron for an annual pilgrimage.

Officials fear the combination of the crowd and tensions over the planned evacuation of the so-called House of Contention could prove to be an explosive mix.

On Thursday, angry settlers attacked Israel Defense Forces soldiers, vandalized Palestinian property and scrawled "Mohammed is a pig" on a local mosque after the High Court of Justice ruled earlier this week that the house must be cleared of its Jewish residents until another court decides whether Jews or Palestinians are the legal owners.

Coming at the same time,this weekend's planned pilgrimage will commemorate the death of the Matriarch Sarah, whom the Bible says was buried in Hebron.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak has not yet decided when the house will be evacuated, but senior defense officials are unhappy with the prospect of doing so anytime soon. "The justices could have thought more deeply about the evacuation's timing," complained one, noting that the middle of an election campaign is a particularly volatile time.

Hundreds of right wing extremists have already come to Hebron to impede the evacuation, and several dozen of them - mostly teenagers - went on a rampage Wednesday night. They vandalized Palestinian houses, desecrated Muslim graves, uprooted some 40 olive trees and damaged the fence around Kiryat Arba, an adjacent settlement.

At one point, Lt. Col. Dado Bar-Kalifa, an IDF battalion commander, tried to stop the rioters who were throwing stones and firecrackers at a Palestinian house. The teens promptly began stoning Bar-Kalifa and his soldiers and calling them Nazis. One even threw turpentine at a soldier's face. Yet even though some of the rioting was filmed by B'Tselem, no arrests have yet been made.

"Most of the rioters were minors and we did not discern any adults inciting or directing them," said a senior IDF officer. He added that most came from settlements in the northern West Bank and some were ejected from town on Thursday by leaders of Hebron's Jewish community. Local settlers also cleaned up the graffiti, he said.
