      Several Jews Arrested in Givat HaOr


      Several young Jews have been arrested in connection to a clash between Jews and Arabs in the Samaria town of Givat HaOr, near Beit El.  According to Jewish eyewitnesses, the clash began when Arab villagers arrived at the site and began pelting Jews with rocks, wounding three.  Jews threw rocks in response, and a fight broke out.

      Jews from Givat HaOr accused IDF soldiers of preventing the three wounded youths from leaving by ambulance to receive medical treatment for their injuries.  IDF sources insisted that the three were only lightly wounded, and did not require treatment.  An IDF doctor will examine the youths, IDF commanders said.
