From Jerusalem to Nabi Yunis (the entrance to Halhul and Hebron on Route 60)

 

Hussan, 7:30 AM: people came to inquire about police matters.

Al Nashshash, 07:30 AM: the same thing occurred at Al Nashshash.

Liaison and Coordination Administration at Etzion, 8:00 AM: close to 100 people are waiting in the waiting room for magnetic cards, the security service, all kinds of permits, or a policeman By 08:45 no one had gone inside, We called to ask what was going on and they said they would find out.

Beit Ummar, 9:00 AM: people came to ask about matters regarding the police and the security services.

 

Nabi Yunis, 09:30 AM: people were doing the same in Naibi Yunis .

 

We are under the impression that there are more and more people being prevented from entering Israel, which prevents them from working in Israel or in the settlements. The economic situation is growing worse every week and we sense this from people's continuous complaints and sad faces and their requests for help. We saw jeeps and "hummers" along the entire way.

      The Gush Etzion-Hebron road - which is the main axis of  the southern Hebron Mountains - passes through the boundaries of the village. Many incidents of stone throwing occurred on this section of road. There is a checkpoint at the entrance to the village.

      In March 2006, a 25-dunam land seizure order was issued around the settlement for the purpose of establishing a "special security area" (SHBM) and a warning fence around the nearby settlement, Carmei Tzur. In April 2019, 401 dunams of the land of the villages of Beit Omer and Halhul were expropriated for the purpose of paving a road that bypasses the house of Omer to the east.  Demonstrations are held by the villagers against the seizure of land with the participation of Palestinian, Israeli and international activists.
