Israeli police, using bars and metal clippers, stormed a building in the West Bank town of Hebron early Tuesday and dragged out hundreds of Jewish settlers who had holed up there illegally, hoping to expand the Jewish presence in the city. Settlers spit and hurled stones, water, oil and concrete powder as police, backed by army troops, broke through fortified doors and carried out the squatters one by one. A few settlers briefly barricaded themselves inside a concrete bunker they built for the standoff. Danny Poleg, a police spokesman, said four soldiers, two police officers and two settlers were lightly injured during the evacuation. No arrests were made, the Associated Press reported.
