It's getting worse day by day: Rioting Hebron settlers kill Palestinian girl, wound dozens after funeral -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Jerusalem Post Internet Staff and The Associated Press Jul. 28, 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jewish settlers and Palestinians clashed Sunday during a funeral procession for a slain Israeli soldier, leaving a 14-year-old Palestinian girl dead and several Palestinians wounded in the volatile West Bank city of Hebron, witnesses said. The trouble erupted as the settlers were carrying the body of the soldier from the biblical Tomb of the Patriarchs, through the narrow streets of Hebron, to the cemetery. The Palestinians, though confined to their homes by an army-imposed curfew, began throwing stones at the funeral procession, according to photographers at the scene. The armed settlers responded immediately, firing guns at Palestinian homes and using metal bars and stones smash windows of cars and homes in Hebron's Old City. Palestinian Nizin Jamjoum, 14, was standing on the balcony of her home when she was fatally shot in the head, said her brother Marwan, 26, who was injured. At least six Palestinians were hurt, doctors at the city's Alia Hospital said. The injured included Ahmed Natcha, age 8, who was stabbed when a group of settlers broke into his home and smashed furniture, said the boy's father, Hussain Natcha. The boy was in stable condition, the father said. However, several Palestinian witnesses said that soldiers did little or nothing to stop the attacks by the settlers, which lasted for about an hour. "The soldiers weren't doing anything to stop them," Dr. Zahadeh said. "After one hour of vandalism, the police intervened. They were the ones who stopped the violence." Ffifteen policemen were injured after they moved in to quell the riots. Israel Radio reported that amongst the wounded was the commander of the Border Police in Hebron. Two police vehicles were also damaged during the fracas. Police have closed off the streets of the Jewish Quarter in the city. jpost.com Twick
