A young Israeli settler from Kiryat Arba throws stones at Palestinian homes near the disputed house in the West Bank city of Hebron on November 29, 2008. A US businessman vowed last week to fight an Israeli eviction order against a group of Jews living in a house in the West Bank city of Hebron he says he bought. The Palestinian owner of the house, however, said the sale was never completed, and an Israeli court ruled that documents provided by the settlers were forged. Hebron has long been a flashpoint because of a settler enclave of around 600 hardline Jews living in the heart of a city with more than 170,000 Palestinian residents, and a further 6,500 Israeli settlers living in Kiryat Arba on the outskirts.
