The graves of three leading members of the Ben Yehuda family were desecrated last night on the Mt. of Olives in Jerusalem.
The desecrated graves were of Eliezer Ben Yehuda, the reviver of modern Hebrew, his wife, Hemda, and his son, Itamar Ben Avi. Slogans condeming the renewal of archaeological digs were smeared on the tombstones.
