...near Nablus, smashing and burning property, shooting animals and spraying houses with hundreds of rounds of automatic fire. A 16-year-old Palestinian girl was killed by stray bullets as she hid in her home. The Arab city of Hebron is a frequent target of Jewish raiders from nearby Kiryat Arba. Daily patrols of heavily armed settlers cruise the streets to prove they can still move freely around the city...
Soldiers who dare to intervene have been threatened and harassed -- or merely ignored.
