Hebron, Sansana (Meitar Crossing), South Hebron Hills

In Meitar checkpoint in the late morning therei are few people. On the other hand, the gap in the fence next to it is bustling with life. Cars that will take the illegal workers to work, wait for them to arrvive.  There is already a name for the checkpoint , CP 11, named after the legs of the workers who pass there. Visible to all, we see a woman gets out of a vehicle and walks to the fence up the hill. And all  this is less than a mile from the checkpoint and its facilities.

The  police? The  military? Sometimes they demonstrate their presence, but the tools to repair the break in the fence…..probably they forgot the tools to do so as home.

I wonder why we continue to ask, because if the fence is necessary for the security of the people and the state, why ignore the loophole?  But if it is not so dangerous and people only want to bring bread home, then where is there a problem? At least until they decide what their political status will be and then maybe this fence will be dismantled? Billions spilled? Who cares, the citizens of Israel are silent and pay the price for all the usual failures.

In Hebron, the children returned to schools after about 3 weeks of closure because of the corona.

There is a slight  hustle and bustle of ordinary life on the streets but Idris says that the situation is very difficult, and there still are many corona patients and people are also in a very difficult economic situation. So much so that the Palestinian Authority threatens imprisonment to anyone who buys or sells a Selcom sim. They are required to buy only that of the Palestinian media company, Javal.

Many businesses have closed. It is like a complete ghost town on the surface.

on the way back we pass  a town called Kaliklis, on Route 60. A new way to it is being paved by the Palestinian Authority, something which is very rare to see. The route is filled with roadblocks. We will follow up to see what is happening.

On the hill in the middle, between the southern Hebron Mountain Regional Council and the Meitarim Industrial Park and Zenuta, with the Yatir Forest above it, a new settlement is being established By Federman's son. Right now we are only photographing from far, so the picture is not very clear, but maybe we will dare to get closer later.

M, says he saw that a lot of chicken coops are being built there, so that probably means that there will be a large agricultural farm there.

In the meantime, there are constantly incidents between the new settlers and the neighbor's family, on whose land it is.

Dunam here and dunam there , more and more land being taken.
