Repeated attacks on Jewish visitors to the Cave of Machpelah, near Hebron, perpetrated by Arab youths, led to a formal protest lodged with the Vaad Leumi, National Council of Palestine Jews, by one of the victims of the attack.

The complaint states that the situation has been aggravated since there are only two Jewish policemen on the spot, whereas until recently six policemen protected the Jewish visitors to the cave.
