| [IsraelTimes] Law enforcement officials say some 40 Paleostinians rioted near Rachel’s Tomb on outskirts of Jerusalem Two Border Police officers were lightly hurt on Monday afternoon after Paleostinians hurled an bomb at troops in the West Bank’s Aida Refugee Camp, near Rachel’s Tomb on the outskirts of Jerusalem. One of the officers hit by the earth-shattering kaboom was taken to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center for further treatment. The second officer was treated at the scene, police said. A Border Police front man said the group of some 40 Paleostinians also hurled stones and launched marbles at troops. "Border Police troops responded with riot dispersal means," the front man said. It was unclear what instigated the riot, but the front man said officers arrived after it began. There were no reports of Paleostinians maimed in the festivities. Rachel’s Tomb is traditionally believed to be the burial place of the biblical matriarch Rachel. It is holy to Jews, Christians, Moslems, and members of other world religions. The site is on the edge of the West Bank city of Bethlehem, but is surrounded by high walls and closely guarded by the military. A heavily fortified road used by pilgrims connects the enclave to Jerusalem’s southern neighborhoods. |
