The Jewish Community of Hevron and the Kiryat Arba Municipal Council call upon Sharon to immediately act upon his recent recommendation to form Jewish residential contiguity between the two areas. At a joint meeting of the two bodies last night, some speakers expressed the fear that Sharon did not take his own words seriously; they were uttered after the Friday night ambush battle with terrorists in which 12 Jews were killed. Criticism was also expressed at the meeting of the hastily constructed barriers along the path between Kiryat Arba and Hevron.
Following the tragedy in Hevron, in which three members of the local civil emergency team were killed in battle, an increase in volunteers for such teams all over Yesha, and especially in Kiryat Arba, has been noted.
