Ten Jewish hikers were arrested on Friday afternoon near the community of Negohot on Mount Hevron. They were arrested on suspicion of entering area A, which is under Palestinian Authority control, without permission.
A lawyer for the Honenu legal aid organization was working before Shabbat to release the hikers.
