Palestinian heroes torch gate of illegal settlement in al-Khalil

A Palestinian young man on Tuesday evening hurled a Molotov cocktail at the main entrance gate of Kiryat Arba settlement, which was built illegally on Palestinian lands near al-Khalil city.

Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that a group of young men gathered near the northern iron gate of Kiryat Arba, east of al-Khalil, before one of them threw a Molotov cocktail at it.

They added that the gate caught fire, prompting the settlement’s security guards and an Israeli military force to rush to the place and embark on combing the area in search for the youths, amid sporadic gunfire.
