Beit awa -Ngohot  Checkpoint Monday, November 25, 1919

The old Road 358 Before they built the fence, before they built the wall there was and  still is a main road that connects all Palestinian villages and towns between Tarkumia and Ramadin in West Mount Hebron.

Negohot is an isolated  settlement located between Route 358 and Route 60.

This lonely settlement resulted in the construction of a pillbox inside Harsa.

And this settlement causes the road to be closed by a gate which disconnects  this main transport artery.

Today on our way to Hebron we passed there and saw the gate closed. The army bulldozer has piled up heaps of  dirt that would prevent the entry for side roads.

The soldiers at the pillbox stop every car that passes and, according to the Palestinians, also take the car keys. On both sides of the gate are many parked cars and people have to  pass  on foot and the distances are not small.

The people at the garage  at the intersection are complaining about how there are increasing problems to make a living

And so it has been for a week.

In our attempts to find out what had happened we found that  Molotov cocktails had been  thrown at the pillbox a week ago.

And therefore a collective punishment had been imposed  on everyone.

We talked to the garage people and passers by  for half an hour and.

It is increasingly difficult to talk and talk because there are high expectations of us to help.

Only visits to identify with their problems  are not always accepted sympathetically.

The people refused to be photographed and I understand why.

I haven't met such despair in a long time.

The occupation did not become more comfortable.

And try to understand what is happening in London
