“You tell me to go home. Where’s my house? Have you left any house, or any country?” A Palestinian woman shouts at Israeli occupation soldiers blocking the way into the Jaldeh neighbourhood of Hebron, which the occupation army has kept under siege for a fifth straight day. The occupatuon soldiers order residents to go home while barring them from reaching those very homes, then push the crowd twenty metres back. The siege is part of a sweeping military operation the occupation army launched across Al-Khalil (Hebron) after two Palestinians killed two Israeli occupying soldier terrorists at a nearby checkpoint on occupied Palestinian territory. Since then, more than 3,000 Palestinians have been displaced from the city, and occupation forces have ordered families in the Ein Dir Bahha neighbourhood out of their homes before extending raids to Jaldeh and other southern districts. Hebron’s governor says occupation soldiers have arrested more than 70 people, stormed over 500 homes, and sealed the governorate with 128 gates and 120 checkpoints. It was at this same blockade that soldiers kicked and beat Hijazi Shawar al-Tamimi, a 70-year-old mukhtar, as he tried to reach his house to fetch his medication. @palpostn
