Israeli officials ordered Jewish settlers to dismantle two mobile homes they had set up in the Hebron hills near the West Bank site where an Israeli farmer was murdered in a clash with Palestinian shepherds earlier this week. The confrontation, in which two other Israelis and a Palestinian were wounded, stemmed from a long-standing dispute between the sides over land ownership. The officials also ordered Palestinians to take down a tent they had set up in response to the Israeli homes.
