HEBRON, West Bank, Dec. 5  -- The Palestinian National Authority says the international community should help limit settler violence in the West Bank.

Palestinian officials said violence against West Bank settlers in cities like Hebron should prompt a response from Israel and other members of the international community, The Jerusalem Post said Thursday.

Settlers from Hebron's Beit Hashalom building have been evacuated after a sudden increase of attacks on settlers in the city.

While Palestinian officials have praised the removal of the endangered settlers, they have urged Israel to remove all other Hebron settlers to avoid additional violence.

"The Israeli government made a huge mistake by failing to coordinate the evacuation of the settlers with the Palestinian Authority," one senior Palestinian official said. "Now the Israeli authorities bear the responsibility for the aggression against dozens of Palestinian families."

Meanwhile, an unidentified source warned Ynetnews Thursday that the riots in Hebron were only the beginning for area settlers.

"Just like the security forces were able to surprise us, we will surprise them," the source said. (UPI)
