Hebron, A Divided World

Hebron, A Divided World:

"Hebron hosts the tomb of the patriarch, a holy site for Jews, Christians and Muslims, where there is scriptural references to Abraham.

Hebron is a city divided into two areas: H1, under full Palestinian Authority and H2, under full Israeli control. At the outset of the second intifada in 2000, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) resumed operations in H1 area. In 2003, the IDF began constructing two permanent fortified posts in Arab neighborhoods which overlook Jewish homes in the center of Hebron.

AIC followed the Alternative Tourist Group through Hebron where Palestinians are submitted to constant humiliation and attacks by Israeli settlers."
