Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of people

IsraelNN.com reports:

Arabs Attack International Observer Mission in Hebron

Several hundred Arabs attacked the International Observer Mission building in Hebron with rocks and bottles on Wednesday morning while workers were still inside.

According to Gunhild Forselv, spokesperson for the Temporary International Presence in Hebron, the demonstrators also tried to set the structure ablaze. She said more than 50 workers are based in the Mission building.


TIPH have not quite endeared themselves to Hebron's Jewish community.

But, as they say, what goes around, comes around.

This event with TIPH didn't get much press. I'm a complete newcomer to these issues (and to blogging), but I am really interested to see how this will effect TIPH in the future. http://alnaharotbavel.blogspot.com/
