| Morning

I call G., to find out how he is.  I heard the children crying in the background.  His wife says it is difficult with the children. Difficult. Difficult. It is forbidden to go outside and the children don’t stop fighting.

G. lives in a house on the Zion axis, in the area of h-2, and he says cars do not travel; only army vehicles.  He is afraid there is not enough food . . .He is happy that I called.  He says he prays every day that everything will pass before Ramadan.  He says the soldiers are al right. 

There is nothing to condole.

    • 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.
