Hebron quiet but tense after clashes

JERUSALEM (CNN) - A tense calm gripped the West Bank city of Hebron on Wednesday after rioting and serious clashes between Jewish settlers and Palestinians that saw at least 11 people wounded.

Tuesday night was quiet after the end of 24 hours of violence. One teenage settler was seriously wounded by a rock that hit him in the head, and 10 Palestinians were wounded, according to sources on both sides.

The Israeli army declared a closed military zone Tuesday evening around a disputed Hebron house that has been at the center of the clashes, as well as surrounding areas, in an attempt to prevent the Jewish settlers from entering Palestinian neighborhoods, an Israeli army spokesman said.

Violence flared Monday after rumors that the contested house would be evacuated. Settlers and Palestinians threw stones at each other and settlers rioted elsewhere in the West Bank.
