(IsraelNN.com) Arabs wounded a Jewish youth in the head Saturday night near the contested Peace House in Hevron.  According to eyewitness accounts, dozens of Arabs threw rocks at Jews walking to the Peace House.  In response, Jewish youth in Hevron threw rocks at Arab houses near the Erez alley in Hevron and caused damage to Arab cars.  Three youths also punctured the tire of a Border Police jeep.  One youth was arrested.

David Wilder, spokesman from Hevron said:  "It is very clear that yesterday's attack by dozens of Arabs on Jews near Beit Hashalom was planned.  The fact that journalists were present proves that they intended on initiating the attacks in order to trigger a response and then publicize the response as if we had initiated the attacks.  It is also clear that the fact that the Israeli government is thinking to expel Jews from Beit Hashalom is a form of incitement which is causing the Arab attack."
