The forced closure of muslim shops suffer the indignity of being sprayed with the star of david, whilst a muslim woman walks the deserted streets of what was once a busy palestinian thoroughfare, now inside an area controled by the IDF the Israelies like to call a buffer zone. Hebron, Palestine, 2012.

Since early 1997, following the Hebron Agreement, the city of Hebron has been divided into two sectors: H1 and H2. The H1 sector, home to around 120,000 Palestinians, came under the control of the Palestinian Authority. H2, which was inhabited by around 30,000 Palestinians, remained under Israeli military control to protect several hundred Jewish residents in the old Jewish quarter. A large drop has since taken place in the Palestinian population in H2, identified with the impact of extended curfews, strict restrictions on movement with 16 check-points in place, the closure of Palestinian commercial activities near settler areas, and settler harassment.
