Hundreds of stone-throwing Arab youths battled police for a second day in an Israeli town. Residents observed a general strike and took to the streets to demonstrate against the demolition by police of 15 buildings erected without permits in Taiyiba, a town at the edge of the West Bank. Israeli Arabs say the government does not grant them enough permits for their expanding population. Police denied a claim by the Arab residents that 40 people were injured in a similar demonstration Monday.
