This evening we’ll know whether the holiday Eid alFitr starts tonight or tomorrow. Wishing you a happy holiday.

But people are already tired of Ramadan. School holidays began and the streets in occupied Hebron were empty.

The streets are filled with Jewish kindergarten kids who come for the annual tours of the Cave of the Patriarchs.

Despair seemed everywhere.

The pictures show the symbiosis between the army and the settlers. Coffee together.

This  is not a barrier but  is a decorated or deserted passage.

A soldier standing with his pointed rifle in the Gross Square near the wholesale market … Hebron.

What will be at the end … nothing special happened today.

    • 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
