Hebron, Sansana (Meitar Crossing)
We were on our way to meet the premilitary group in Hebron.
We passed the Meitar checkpoint at 12 noon, the parking lot was choked with cars. We met the Palestinian checkpoint workers who told us that 9,000 people passed through this morning. And on Sunday, 11,000 people passed through.
New sleeves and sheds are being built and a total of 12 sleeves will be built at the end of construction.
The Civil Administration checked time it took to pass through the exit last Sunday and measured 6 minutes for the passage. The checkpoint opens at four in the morning and not everyone comes at once.
See the two picture below:
The almond trees have begun to bloom.
This is the picture which greets our eyes at the entrance to Hebron from Kiryat Arba.
The photo below shows the door of the carpentry shop next to the House of Contention.
Yesterday at 10 PM settlers poured gasoline inside the carpentry shop. The neighbors who were there rushed to call the police and the army and the settlers fled.
It is unclear whether the neighbors managed to take pictures.
The army did nothing and the police did not come to collect testimonies.
It is impossible to convey the smell, but the place was stinking with the smell of gasoline.
The children of the workshop owner did not want to be photographed.
A picture of the house from which they might have taken photographs. There we met Manal from B'Tselem.
The neighborhood people want more cameras. It turns out that this is the strongest weapon against the harassment of the settlers.
The members of TIPH knew about the story, and may also report it.
There is only bad news from Hebron.
