IDF reopens part of Shuhada Street, the main thoroughfare in Hebron, which has been closed since Jewish settler Baruch Goldstein gunned down 29 Muslim worshipers at al-Ibrahimi Mosque in 1994. The road was supposed to be opened 2 yrs. ago, as part of the 1997 Hebron Protocol. (MM 8/19; NYT 8/20; JP 8/27)
