A new group calling itself the "Settlers from Givatayim" has joined the Jews living in Peace House in Hevron, in expectation of an attempt by security forces to evict them. Hayim Cohen of Tel Aviv suburb Givatayim, a member of the group, said they were planning to tour Samaria but decided to go to Hevron when they heard the Defense Minister intended to kick them out.
Cohen noted that Hevron's hills are full of houses built by Arabs without receiving clearance from the Defense Ministry. "The Defense Minister can't discriminate against Jews. He can't enforce the supposed law only against Jews."
