Nothing happened –miserable and neglected H2 Hebron is breathing the occupation routine in its entirety.

We took the lists of children registered for the sea-days (organized by another group of Israeli women, not MW). We also received the phone no. of Leah from the Kiryat Arba  Pedagogic Centre[?]

Mothers and their children are walking in the heat where Palestinian vehicles are prohibited and there are some Muslim pilgrims too…

    • According to Wye Plantation Accords (1997), Hebron is divided in two: H1 is under Palestinian Authority control, H2 is under Israeli control. In Hebron there are 170,000 Palestinian citizens, 60,000 of them in H2. Between the two areas are permanent checkpoints, manned at all hours, preventing Palestinian movement between them and controlling passage of permit holders such as teachers and schoolchildren. Some 800 Jews live in Avraham Avinu Quarter and Tel Rumeida, on Givat HaAvot and in the wholesale market.

      1. Bet Hameriva CP- manned with a pillbox
