Jewish settlers stage dawn roadblock protest in West Bank
Thousands of Jewish settlers blocked highways from 4 30 am to 7 30 am across 49 locations in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, burning tires and erecting barricades to protest the killing of Ephraim Ayubi. Two Palestinian motorists were wounded by shots near a roadblock while Israeli troops kept Palestinians from traveling. Hamas claimed Ayubi’s death, while authorities suspect Hamas or the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The army sealed Hebron, imposed a curfew, and settlers vowed further action as Prime Minister Rabin faced no confidence motions.
