Hebron settlers burn Palestinian flags at Lag B’Omer bonfire

Israeli settlers in Hebron burn Palestinian flags at a bonfire for the Lag B’Omer holiday.

A spokesman for the settlers in the flashpoint West bank city said the demonstration was in response to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s speech in front of the Palestinian National Council earlier this week that has been widely condemned as anti-Semitic.
