Folks, hundreds of Muslims and Christians fought each other with metal rods and stones Tuesday night in the West Bank town of Beit Sahour, adjacent to Bethlehem.
The fighting began when a Muslim man snuck a camera into a changing room in a Beit Sahour clothes shop as a woman was dressing and snapped several pictures of her, residents said.
Inter-religious tension has been brewing for some time in the Bethlehem area, with Christians citing land seizures by Palestinian Muslims and a rise of Islamic radicalism among their grievances.
