16 Jews Arrive in Israel from Yemen
16 Yemenite Jews arrived in Israel on Sunday, following 10 who arrived in March, as anti-Semitic attacks against Jews have spiraled out of control in recent years.
al Reuters Pictures - Yemeni Jewish boys read the Torah at a Hebrew school in the north-western Yemeni town of Raida February 20, 2009. Ten Jews from Raida, nine of them members of the same family, landed in Israel ... after fleeing from Yemen.
.... Abu Tarek says the Israeli army was still carrying out operations in the West Bank but became "a lot less violent." And one of the Palestinians present, who witnessed his brothers' arrest recently, chuckles: "They're very gentle nowadays. They come quietly, knock on the door and say politely: Army, please open up."
