Morning

We left for Hebron with heavy hearts. A shift after  “The life of Sarah” and the days of "exception" at the Cave of the Patriarchs.

The pictures sent by our Palestinian friends in Hebron provoke anger and anger and I am quite frightened of what I will see there.

There is a temporary checkpoint at the exit from Samoa,. the same as at the exit out of Dahariya. And on our way policemen were stationed at the entrance to Hebron under the settlement of Beit Haggai. There are those who take care all the time that the Palestinians know who is in charge here.

In the picture below: The first rain and the Palestinians rush to finish the harvest. At Tel Rumeida, they are constantly being disturbed by the settlers.

All of Hebron is "decorated" with blue and white flags and the concrete blocks are painted blue and white with a Star of David. This is what they painted on the Hadafa grocery store at the junction of the Worshipers' route. 

In the picture below: the checkpoint located next to the archeological park at Tel Rumeida.

The Abu Haykal family, whose house is adjacent to the garden, reported a shattered window and we came to see it.

We were delayed for about twenty minutes by the exit from Tel Rumeida. We were lucky, not Palestinians.

The dirt can be seen everywhere.

And the heart is heavy, heavy and grieved
