Hebron
The Hill of the Fathers (Giv’at Ha-Avot) – a Jewish neighborhood in the heart of Hebron’s H2 sector
Between the Kapishe and the Ja’abri neighborhoods, populated by numerous Palestinians, Israeli colonists founded a neighborhood, Giv’at Ha-Avot. The Israeli government placed the Hebron police HQ in the midst of this neighborhood, the dwelling place of the main inciter, Member of Knesset Itamar Ben Gvir.
Since the neighborhood was founded, fenced in by barbed wire and army posts, Palestinians are not allowed to move freely from one neighborhood of theirs to the other. Only local residents are allowed through, and special permits when they have any kind of guests.
The gate operated by the soldier at the guard post was not functioning and therefore on Friday one could cross. I checked today – the gate is still out of order, but the soldiers have placed concrete cubes on the road and inspect every single vehicle.
It is apartheid, clear and simple.
