Dozens of relatives of Palestinian prisoners attacked Israeli police officers who were escorting handcuffed detainees to a Jerusalem court, injuring six of the officers. Authorities said they arrested six Arabs and fired tear gas to break up the crowd, which reportedly used knives and hammers in addition to fists on the officers near the district court in Arab East Jerusalem. In the West Bank village of Ain Arik, residents said Israeli settlers, some wearing Palestinian head scarfs, attacked a grocer and his son, provoking clashes in which troops fired tear gas and beat villagers. In the West Bank city of Nablus, the army said soldiers shot and wounded two Palestinians who violated a curfew imposed after clashes in which an Arab teen-ager was killed.
