Palestinian Authority Arabs in Hevron are demanding full access to the city's only majority-Jewish street, while Jews remain confined to a mere 3% of the city.
An estimated 300 PA Arabs rioted Friday, calling for unlimited entry to King David Street, which the PA has dubbed Shuhada Street. Rioters threw stones at soldiers and police officers, who responded with tear gas; five Israeli policemen and four PA rioters were injured.
