Hebron 1
Hebron story 1
The Hebron Municipality has decided to renovate certain areas of H2.
In the picture: Painting the doors of the closed shops on Shuhada Street.
The worker shown painting tells us that settler children harass him regularly and yesterday there was also an attempt to run him over.
Another area under renovation by the Hebron Municipality is the area near the Gilber checkpoint.
The settlers objected and despite the fact that the municipality reached an agreement with the Civil Administration, the work was halted.
A week ago there were confrontations between the settlers, the Palestinian residents, the municipal workers and the soldiers.
The solution was to stop the work.
Have we already said “the lords of the land”?
