Dura-Al Fawwar Junction, Hebron, Sansana (Meitar Crossing), South Hebron Hills

Meitar checkpoint – full to the brim. There are many workers moving to work in Israel.On a hill near the illegal outpost Eshtamoa  (Route Sixty): we see  a settler shepherd, with goats. We should keep an eye out, if an innocent-looking tent also pops up soon.

The entrances to the villages and towns are open. The Dura-Alfawar junction, between a Palestinian town and the refugee camp, is now called "Avraham Junction", after Avraham who was murdered there - there is a picture. Really delusional ..

Yellow signs have been added to the red signs prohibiting entry into the islands. 
The shift to Hebron was marked by "Operation Telephones" - following the telephones of O. and O.

One of them lives up the road to the Jewish Tel Rumeida neighborhood, and he is the one who shot the video about "The story of Elor Azaria". The other lives on the Zion axis, between Kiryat Arba and the Cave of the Patriarchs, both of course are not allowed to reach their home by car.

Their story began when they worked on a plot of land belonging to the Jaber family, opposite the main entrance to Kiryat Arba, across the road. They lit a fire in order to destroy the  weeds. This plot, like the rest of the family lands, is near the entrance to Kiryat Arba, and  is in constant friction with the settlers, who are longing to take over the  area, which is a real continuation of the settlement. A settler trying to continue the quarrel over the plot of land arrived, and called the army, which apparently called the police as well. The two were  arrested, and later released on bail. Their belongings and documents were returned to them, but without the phones. (This happens time and again that the army confiscates phones and the Palestinians never see them again. A very economical way for the army to take over private property and not only lands).

Since then they  have  approached the Kiryat Arba police station (in the Givat HaAvot neighborhood) several times, but were always rejected on various and odd administrative and bureaucratic grounds.

So we went into action but with no success.

We received power of attorney, we tried to contact the police station in Givat HaAvot - without success: closed gate, no one there, no one answered the telephone. But at the police station in the Cave of the Patriarchs the policeman tried to help and inquired, and found that the telephones, along with the investigation files, had been transferred to the Military Advocate General Bureau in Atarot.

The next day – in the  morning , Hagit inquired at the Military Advocate General’s office, and it finally turned out that the phones are part of the investigation files, and only a lawyer can release them.

A convoluted  bureaucracy, which the occupation further complicates.

And I only have a question: if the two men were not  social activists who trouble Jewish rule in central Hebron, and if  they were not for Palestinians whose settlement the area wants, would they have been arrested so easily even then?
