I am about to release a series of photographs from the occupied city of Hebron which is currently one of the most violent areas in the occupied West Bank. The city itself has been divided into two sections. H1- which is controlled by the Palestinian Authority and is relatively peaceful, and H2 - which includes the old city is STRICTLY controlled by the Israeli military and illegal settlers. In this section of this city (H2) there are countless house raids, military patrols through the old city and 500 very violent settlers with 5 soldiers to every 1 settler! Palestinians are forbidden to walk down many streets and are detained for hours on end with over 100 checkpoints throughout the H2 section.
In the coming weeks I will be focusing on the issue of this beautiful city as it is being strangled to death by occupation. Until that time, here are some photographs to get you anxious for my upcoming project.
Palestinians use fencing to protect themselves from settlers attacking them with objects from above, occupied Hebron.
