I Jerusalem (JTA) — Jewish settlers rampaged through Ramallah, reportedly caus- ing extensive property damage in the West Bank Arab town. But other than that and a stone-throwing incident in Hebron, the fourth anniver- sary of the start of the Pales- tinian intifada passed without serious incident in the administered territories, though the Israel Defense Force and other security services were kept on high alert. The Palestinian popula- tion throughout the ter- ritories observed a general strike to commemorate the beginning of the uprising against the Israeli presence on Dec. 9, 1987. But many ,towns and villages were already under strict curfew. The twin towns of Ramallah and El-Bireh, nor- th of Jerusalem, have been under curfew since the eve- ning of Dec. 1, when a Jew- ish settler, Zvi Klein, was wounded fatally while driv- ing through El- Bireh. The LDF, still searching for the perpetrators, indicated that the curfew in the area would continue until the end of the week. Peace Now sent a telegram to Defense Minister Moshe Arens, protesting that the continuing curfew amounted to collective punishment. With the 100,000 residents of the two towns confined to their homes, Jewish settlers went to the site of the shooting in El-Bireh to end the shiva, the seven-day mourning period for Mr. Klein. According to Ramallah residents, when the prayers ended, Jews poured through the streets, smashing wind- shields and the windows of shops and homes. They plastered walls with flyers saying "Jewish blood will not be spilled." Tension also ran high in Jerusalem, following the Cabinet's decision to allow Jewish settlers to remain in the Arab village of Silwan, which is within Jerusalem's municipal boundaries, if they could prove ownership of real estate there. When Jewish squatters took over several Arab houses in Silwan on Oct. 9, claiming their legal pur- chase, local Arab residents threatened violence. In the wake of the Cabinet ruling, the police took preventive measures. Security was reinforced in Arab neighborhoods in Jerusalem, especially Silwan, and West Bank Arabs were prohibited from entering Jerusalem. In Washington, the State Department issued a state- ment on the Cabinet's deci- sion,. calling on "all sides to avoid unilateral acts that might exacerbate local ten- sion or make it more difficult to make progress in the peace process. "All people in Jerusalem ought to uphold and promote harmony in the city by not acting in ways that would prejudice prospects for the peace process," said the department's spokeswoman, Margaret Tutwiler. Meanwhile, Aharon Domb, a leader of Jewish settlers in Hebron, said his car was stoned. He said he opened fire on the attackers and "probably hit" one of them. Mr. Domb was summoned - to the Hebron police station for questioning. Security forces made several arrests and are holding one youth on suspicion of rock-throwing. Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir told the Knesset that the Palestinians have gained nothing from the in- tifada and will suffer even greater losses if it continues. He also warned that violence would have a negative affect on the peace process. E.C. Helps With Repayment Brussels (JTA) — The Eu- ropean Community's Ex- ecutive Commission is help- ing Israel repay a $192 mill- ion loan and aid package for repair of damages incurred during the Persian Gulf War. The aid package was ap- proved last March to allow Israel to borrow on the Eu- ropean capital market. Now the commission has agreed to a one-time $33 million grant to ease interest payments. The commission decided last month to release $57 million for assistance to Pa- lestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip who suffered economically as a conse- quence of the Gulf war. Meanwhile, a resolution adopted last week by the Eu- ropean Parliament, the E.C.'s legislative body based in Strasbourg, France, called for the freeing of Jews un- justly imprisoned in Syria.
