Hebron Jewish Presence Sought After Student's Death
(Continued from Page 1)
Likud and National Reli-
gious Party MKs ridiculed
the opposition arguments,
stressing the right of Jews
to live in Hebron and claim-
ing that only a massive
Jewish presence would con-
vince the Arabs that "Israel
is here to stay."
A curfew was
clamped down on Heb-
ron Jan. 31 following the
fatal shooting of 23-
year-old yeshiva student
Yehoshua Sloma from
nearby Kiryat Arba. The
victim died while under-
going surgery at Hadas-

Israeli troops ranged
through the Arab town on
the West Bank searching
for the perpetrators. They
also cordoned off Kiryat
Arba, a Gush Emunim
stronghcld, to prevent
possible revenge attacks on
the Arab population of Heb-
ron.
The incident was the first
in which firearms were used
against anyone from Kiryat
Arba although there have
been frequent clashes be-
tween the Jewish militants
and local Arabs. ,
The victim was de-
scribed as a student at
Yeshivat Hesed, a school
whose student body
engages in _ ilitary ac-
tivities such as patrols
and guard duty. Israeli
authorities said he ap-
peared to have been un-
armed when attacked, al-
though he might have
been carrying a weapon
which was stolen by his
assailants.
Gen. Moshe Levi, com-
mander of the central
region, and Gen. Benjamin
Ben-Eliezar, commander of
the West Bank, met at Mili-
tary Government head-
quarters in Hebron to dis-
cuss future action. Mean-
while, soldiers combed the
streets. Checkpoints were
set up at the entrances to
the town and all men and
vehicles were searched.
The Kiryat Arba resi-
dents were furious and

blamed the Military Gov-
ernment for not reacting
forcefully enough to earlier
incidents that involved
stone-throwing by Hebron
Arabs.
The shooting occurred in
mid-afternoon when the
Hebron market place was
crowded with shoppers, in-
cluding a number of Jewish
women from Kiryat Arba.
As soon as the shots
rang out, Arab shop-
keepers shut down and
the market was deserted
within minutes, except
for the Jewish women
shoppers. They found the
student covered with
blood in an alley but were
unable to get assistance
from local policemen.
A passing Israeli military
vehicle picked up the youth
and took him to a local hos-
pital from where he was
flown by helicopter to
Hadassah Hospital in
Jerusalem.
Sloma's funeral in
Jerusalem on Sunday,
attended by more than
2,000 mourners, was the oc-
casion for political demands
by Kiryat Arba residents
and religious leaders, in-
cluding Ashkenazic Chief
Rabbi Shlomo Goren.
Kiryat Arba leader Rabbi
Mosher Levinger demanded
in his eulogy of Sloma that
the government take over
"all our stolen places and all
the places where Jews were
killed." He also demanded
that "the brazen and evil
Arab mayors be put in their
place." Goren, in a tearful
eulogy of the slain student,
declared that he had not
died in vain. "There is no
force on earth that can pre-
vent us from settling
throughout our land," he
said.
Eliezer
Rabbi
Waldman, head of the
Kiryat Arba yeshiva,
called on the government
to "replace the nests of
murderers" in Hebron
with "Jewish life."
Another local leader, at-
torney Elyakim Haetzni,
repeated the long standing
demand by Kiryat Arba
residents that their town be
expanded by seizing 5,000
dunams of Arab-owned land
that surrounds it.
A total curfew on Hebron
remained in effect for more
than five days. It was briefly
lifted to allow residents to
shop for food. .
Sloma, originally from
Denmark, died of two gun-
shot wounds in the head.
His identity had been with-
held pending notification of
his parents who live in
England. They were per-
suaded by the military
authorities not to inter him
in the ancient Jewish
cemetery in Hebron for fear
of further aggravating the
tension there.
Mayor Fahed Kawas-
seme of Hebron, a promi-
nent West Bank leader,
expressed "sadness"
over the killing. He
suggested that personal
motives may have been
involved. Police inves-
tigating the murder re-
port no progress in the
case.
Scattered incidents of vio-
lence erupted over the
weekend between local
Arabs and residents of
Kiryat Arba. Most of the
clashes in and around Heb-
ron involved stone-
throwing, which Arabs and
Jews accused each other of
starting. Rubber tires were
burned in the streets and
the Abraham Avinu
Synagogue in Hebron was
stoned.
Three buses and a taxi
carrying local workers back
from their jobs in Israel Fri-
day night were hijacked by
armed men who robbed the
passengers. One of the
buses was rolled into a
ditch. The hijackers fled be-
fore security forces arrived.
In another development,
a Jerusalem district court
acquitted Ilan Tor, a Kiryat
Arba resident of charges of
murder and attempted
murder in the fatal shooting
of a 17-year-old Arab
schoolgirl during a riot on
the Hebron-Jerusalem road
last March. Tor, 30, and the
father of five children. was
accused of firing the fatal
shot. But the court found
that there was no conclusive
proof that the girl waskilled
by bullets fired from his re-
volver. Other guns were
fired during the melee.
