On Highway 60, the occupation seemed to go to sleep. Only that a few soldiers on the side of the road without rolling checkpoints reminded us of its existence.

Bus stops in the occupied areas have cement barricades in front of them to prevent people being ridden over.

The gate to Abda aisre open and soldiers in the pillbox are eating their breakfast outside.

At the entrance to Kiryat Arba we were greeted by the above flier. Noam has not lived with us for a long time, everything but Noam. The organization represented in the picture below is called….Noam..”a normal nation in our country”. Hoping that his son will marry a woman and his grandchild will have a Jew as a neighbor.
We went around the Kafisha neighborhood and next to the Border Police base,  Ashmoret Yitzhak,  which borders on  the Kiryat Arba neighborhood.

The manned checkpoint has been removed and the Palestinians living near the base said it was a great relief.

Summer overwhelms all parties which are in conflict.

    • 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.

       

      Checkpoints observed in H2:

       

      1. Bet Hameriva CP- manned with a pillbox
