South Hebron Hills

We decided to go to Khursa. Even on Route 60 everything is normal. The almonds are blooming, the checkpoints are open, we did not see the presence of an army, but the traffic was very sparse, as if life has stopped. We reached Khursa and here too there was a feeling of inactivity and sadness or despair.

We met Moad Shahaki, a young man who had already spent 28 months in prison for throwing stones. He was 17 when he was arrested. I told him that my father had also been in the British prison for many months because he opposed foreign rule

Next to the pillbox proudly hangs the flag of the military unit stationed in it.

The diwan is open and there is no need to ask the army for permission to hold events there . The corona also exists here and there are also hospitalized patients, but schooling , he said, took place as usual. At least the snow that fell there could not be taken from them.

We returned through Negohot, the settlement for the sake of which the pillbox was built in the heart of Khursa.

The army broke a road through  to Negohot and the  Bustan Hill, an illegal outpost (Negohot B). , a road between the houses of the village of Fuqeiqis. Maybe  there is planning for Negohot C.

To the right is Negohot and in the upper left corner - Bustan Hill .We returned through the Negohot Pass.
