Hebron, Sa’ir

Place: Hebron Sa'ir
Observers: Michal T.; Translator: Mike S.

| Morning

We were sent by Ronit Dahan-Ramati and Sylvia to meet a person at the entrance to Sa’ir.  We received payment from him and gave him a receipt in order to enable the return his work permit which had been taken from him suddenly.

Hebron

Everything was as usual.  “The sun shone and the bushes were in

bloom . . .”.

We met people in connection with the trips to the sea.

The checkpoints continue to be intensified at all the existing places.  Tel Romeida was blocked and it was impossible to perform the usual patrol there.

Tourists from the USA were at the Patriarch’s Cave.  They are also worried by their own politics. The ghost-town was as usual.  The Occupation’s boot was evident everywhere.

    • 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.
