Dura-Al Fawwar Junction, Sansana (Meitar Crossing), South Hebron Hills
Driving along Route 358, we easily passed through the Negohot checkpoint where soldiers greeted us.
After about a kilometer, we saw a military van on the right and next to it a number of soldiers. We stopped in front of the garage near the intersection.
In the pillbox of Beit Awa, 3 armed soldiers stop every vehicle leaving the village, interrogate and photograph the license number.
We got out of the car to take pictures and met a young man who was waiting for a ride. We talked to him about the daily routine in the area. Also in the village where he lives, Atos, the same routine check at the entrance. If you go by car, sometimes it takes two hours and there are cases where people are sent back to the village
From there we drove to the Jadallah family in the village of Fukikis. He said that in front of their house there is the farm belonging to Hagai who often harasses them. Hagai brings his herd right under their house several times a week.
There is a family cistern near their house, and settlers came on Shabbat, cursing and shouting, and bathed in the well water. They called police who removed the settlers. Since then they have not come again.
Recently, a fence was erected, a continuation of the fence around the settlement of Negohot, right in front of the family home.
We continued to Khursa. Pupils returned home after only an hour due to a teachers' strike. The strike is not only at their school.
We continued to Al Fawwar where the shops and businesses were closed. Few people were outside.
At the entrance to Dura there were 3 soldiers. There are two posts; one consisting of 2 blocks and a shed and in front of them another soldier also in an improvised post.
About half a kilometer away, in front of the spring, there were two more posts, each with a soldier. Further on, a Border Police vehicle stops Palestinian vehicles - situation which we often see.
