Hebron, Mon 19.11.12, Morning
Translator: Charles K.
Sixth day of operation ” Pillar of Cloud”
I’m writing this report while the “Red Color” siren is sounding outside my home. I’m a disobedient citizen, remaining at the computer.
Meitar checkpoint
– No laborers are there by the time we cross, only a parking lot with fewer cars than usual. The Israeli south is inoperative… At least the Palestinian laborers have work – infrastructure work is underway to expand the merchandise area of the checkpoint.
Highway 60
It’s very, very quiet…
At the entrance to Kiryat Arba we’re met by a very pleasant reservist – the Nahal unit is gone along with its sign.
Hebron is as quiet as the BIG market in Beersheba.
People everywhere are in despair. The reservist tells us that stones are sometimes thrown along Highway 60. Hebron residents tell us there were disturbances yesterday at the police barrier – Tarpa”t checkpoint. A camera
is the best weapon.
I give candy to Palestinian children…
At Dahariyya they tell us, “Insh’allah, peace will come.”
There's much more desperation today. Why doesn’t anyone say anything?
