Tel Aviv
Tension flared in towns across the West Bank Wednesday for the sixth day after the "night of the hammers," when militant Jews rampaged through Ramallah and El Bireh, smashing windows of cars, shops, and homes. In Halhoul, military authorities arrested several suspects for stoning Israeli vehicles during the night. In Bethelem, a commercial strike was in effect.
