More than 500 Palestinian security reinforcements deployed in the southern West Bank town of Hebron on Saturday.
Faced with Israeli trade and travel restrictions, a stagnant economy and a flood of cheap imports from Asia, Palestinian businessmen are increasingly seeking their fortunes in China. Demand for Chinese visas among business owners in the occupied West Bank is so high that the Chinese consul regularly visits the city of Hebron to stamp their passports.

Israeli soldiers stationed in the tense West Bank city of Hebron have recently been battling an enemy they define as more scary than Palestinian militants: enormous rats. The rodents have grown so large that soldiers are calling them the Hebrew equivalent of ”crats” due to their increasing similarity to stray cats.
Israeli troops killed five Palestinians in the West Bank early on Sunday, four shot dead near a Hebron settlement and one a local military leader slain in the north, a day after five others died in a messy ”targeted killing.”
The Israeli army, using explosives and armoured bulldozers, completely demolished overnight the Hebron headquarters of Yasser Arafat’s Palestinian Authority.
