HEBRON, MAY 3, 2011 (WAFA) – Dozens of Jewish settlers attacked four workers on Tuesday, while they were repairing houses in the old city of Hebron in the West Bank.

Witnesses said that 40 settlers attacked the workers and prevented them from continuing their work. The settlers seized their equipments claiming that these houses do not belong to Palestinians.

Settlers also sabotaged the restoration work of the reconstruction committee of the old city of Hebron in an effort to force Palestinian residents to leave their homes. The settlers hope to seize the Palestinian homes to expand their settlements..
