Morning

On the way we talked to Nasser from Susiya, to ask how they were.

Today shooting drills begin at Masafer Yatta which will last 4 weeks.

In the morning they had not yet begun. He said it would start at noon. There are volunteers and journalists with them.

We could not drive to them because we did not have a suitable vehicle but in the next few days we hope that other shifts may be able to get closer and see what was going on there in the area. 

The breaches in the fence near the Meitar checkpoint that were blocked are still blocked, but on the hill above soldiers and security guards are sitting.

Hebron boasts an abundance and variety of posters and signs in every corner. Lest someone who does not know does not know or just forgot how sacred and important this city is.

The checkpoint at the end of the Zion axis, in the Kafisha neighborhood, has been open for several weeks.

Let's hope it stays that way. 

In the souvenir shops near the Cave of the Patriarchs, people tell us that on Saturday, settlers marched along the Shuhada street and behaved in a way that made the security forces tell the Palestinians not to open shops because it was dangerous for them (according to security personnel), and also separated them from the Jewish terrorists by placing checkpoints.

They did not even try to stop them from behaving like animals. 

On the way back on Route 60 we also saw soldiers on the hill in front of Qliqlis, not far from the southern entrance to Hebron.

And besides that? Annoying, everything's fine. Except if you are a Palestinian.
