Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat denounced the tunnel work, carried out just after midnight under heavy police guard, as a “crime against our religious and holy places.” The A1 Aqsa Mosque is Islam’s third holiest site. Palestinians threw stones at Israeli police from the mosque compound, known in Arabic as Haram as- Sharif, or “noble enclosure.” Jews saying prayers at the Western Wall below were briefly ordered by police to step back when stones started flying. Arafat convened his Cabinet Tuesday evening, and later the Palestinian Authority called for strikes in Jerusalem on Wednesday morning, and protests in Palestinian territories in the afternoon. Israel claimed the narrow pedestrian tunnel would be a boon to tourism because it links the Western Wall, Judaism’s holiest site, to the Via Dolorosa, where Jesus was said to have walked before his crucifixion. But the 12-year-old project was completed only on the personal orders of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who intended to send a message to the Palestinians that Israel is the only sovereign in Jerusalem. While Israel maintains police control over the sites, it allows Islamic authorities full religious ad ministration over the mosques. “The government says, ‘Hey guys, we are not play ing games here,”’ said Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert. “We will not agree that everything that happens in Jerusalem will be subject to negotiations.” Haram as-Sharif is referred to by Jews as Temple Mount, site of the Jewish Temple destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. The mount houses the A1 Aqsa and Dome of the Rock mosques. The Western Wall, the last re mains of the Temple and Judaism’s holiest site, runs along one side of the compound. The Palestinians want to establish a future capital in east Jerusalem, the sector Israel captured from Jordan in the 1907 Mideast War. The Muslim shrines are in east Jerusalem. Netanyahu has said he would never relinquish sov ereignty over all of the city, and that its future was not negotiable — despite a promise by Israel’s previous gov ernment to the Palestinians that the status of Jerusalem would be discussed in peace talks. The tunnel starts to the left of the Western Wall plaza, the first 200 yards consisting of medieval and Roman halls on various levels. That is followed by a 300-yard-long, five-foot wide tunnel built by the Hasmoneans about 2,200 years ago to channel water to the Temple Mount. At the end of the water tunnel, a few steps lead up to the Via Dolorosa. Olmert said Israel’s previous government and the Muslim clerics at Haram as-Sharif had reached a tacit understanding earlier this year that the Muslims would not oppose the tunnel opening if they, in turn, would be able to con struct a new prayer area at Solomon's Stables in side the compound. In an apparent attempt to soothe Palestinian tem pers, Olmert said Tuesday that the new construction did not violate zoning regulations. This was a change from the city’s position earlier this month, when it said the construction at Solomon’s Stables was being done without a permit and must stop.

Ji HEBRON, West Bank (AP) — Palestinians protesting Israel’s over due troop withdrawal from Hebron clashed today with soldiers, who beat demonstrators with rifle butts. Four protesters were hospitalized, officials said. Hebron Mayor Mustafa Natche and Palestinian Cabinet Minister Hanan Ashrawi were shoved vio lently by soldiers on their way to the demonstration, Natche said. “The mentality of the occupa tion is coming back, like there is no peace process,” Natche said. The struggle broke out after sev eral hundred Palestinians gathered in front of the city’s central market place for a march, chanting “No to Setdements! No to Occupation! He bron is our city.” Soldiers ordered the marchers to disperse, and when they did not, the soldiers began shoving them. The Palestinians responded by throwing vegetables. Soldiers then began hitting the protesters with their hands and rifle butts. “There will be an explosion, and it is going to lead to a new inte- fadah,” said merchant Eid Ajouni, using the Arabic word for the Pales tinian uprising of 1987-1993. Several dozen of the 450 Jewish settlers who live in Hebron amid the city’s 94,000 J’alestinians came out to cheer the soldiers on, waving Israeli flags and shouting “This is Is raeli land!” Some threw vegetables back at the Palestinians. Israel was scheduled to pull out of most of Hebron in March, but the withdrawal was postponed after a series of suicide bombings inside Israel by Islamic militants. former Soviet ges of huddle ■ywaiting in Israeli Prime Minister Benj: Netanyahu has not seta pullout, saying he wants tor? arrangements to improve seen for the settlers first.

They (the ideas) don’t mean anything unless we put them to work.” The speakers were followed by a presentation of different dances by the Ballet Folkloricos Celestial.
