In the West Bank town of Hebron, Israeli troops showered with stones and firebombs shot rubber bullets and live ammunition, wounding 26 Arabs as residents observed a general strike called to protest at anti-Muslim posters depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a pig. Palestinian police sources said they feared youths would use policemen as a protective shield, drawing fire in their direction, which could escalate the unrest. "We are not responsible for protecting (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu's policies against our Palestinian people," a source said.
