Someone just reminded me of photos from the ‘National Unity Friday’ demonstration in 2015 in Susya. We used to dream of achieving national unity; we used to dream that the Palestinian people would join our peaceful resistance. 1/3

Teachers whose pupils have achieved outstanding results in the General Secondary Certificate Examination should be honoured, particularly those who have adhered to a full five-day school week, in recognition of their efforts, their professional and ethical commitment. 1/2
Issa Amro, founder of the group Youth Against Settlements, says ongoing Israeli attacks are nothing new but have intensified in recent months “And if you try as a Palestinian to protect or defend your children, your house, your property, you will be attacked and you’ll be beaten, detained or shot.”
Netanyahu threatens ‘more broad action’ in West Bank as attacks continue
Incursions and arrests ongoing as terrified Palestinian residents brace for military and settler attacks.

Happening now: Israeli settlers are throwing rocks at my house in Hebron. This is not an isolated incident—it is the reality Palestinians live with under complete impunity. No accountability. No protection. The world must not remain silent. #Hebron #Palestine #HumanRights
Girls in the West Bank have outperformed their male counterparts remarkably in the Tawjihi exam results. In the Science stream, 10 out of the top 15 high-achievers were girls. In the Arts stream, 13 out of the top 13 high-achievers were girls. 1/2
The video shows how the massacre started in the village of Tal, near Nablus. Israeli settlers raided the village, and unarmed Palestinian residents tried to defend their homes. Israeli soldiers and armed settlers then opened fire on them. 1/2
Yesterday in Hebron, an Israeli settler stopped his car on a road reserved exclusively for settlers—where Palestinians are forbidden to drive—and stole a ladder from a Palestinian shop. #Hebron #Palestine 1/2
Today in Hebron, I intervened to help four Palestinian women being harassed and detained by an Israeli settler. Two settlers then attacked me. An Israeli soldier watched the assault and blamed me instead of stopping it. This is how settler violence is enabled.#hebron #palestine #apartheid #palestine
Yesterday, I and most Palestinians stood with our brothers and friends, the Spanish people. We are supporting Spain out of admiration for their stance on Palestine and their footballing skills.
Saturday, Israeli occupation forces are restricting Palestinian worshippers and visitors from accessing the Ibrahimi Mosque, while simultaneously facilitating and encouraging settlers’ entry under military protection. 1/2

Israel accelerates occupation of Hebron: ‘They can kill us at any moment with impunity’
The Netanyahu government is promoting expansion of settler outposts in the emblematic West Bank city after breaking the 1997 accords that divided control of the territory

Good article: www.972mag.com/israel-hebro... Excerpts from article: The 1997 Hebron Protocol had been cancelled. Smotrich’s decision is stripping the municipality of planning jurisdiction — most notably over the Ibrahimi Mosque — and placing it fully under the control of the Israeli military. 1/3
‘Like walking into a cage’: Israel tightens its grip on Hebron
By taking over planning jurisdiction, unilaterally modifying religious sites, and erecting new checkpoints, Israel is accelerating its annexation of the Old City.

British charity, Friends of Yeshivat Shavei Hevron, sent nearly £200,000 to a religious school in illeagel Israeli settlment in Hebron, West Bank, between 2019 and 2024. 1/4
According to the ICJ (International Court of Justice) the occupation is illegal, and so is all cooperation with or support of settlements and settlers. Therefor this so called "UK charity" is breaking international law. And by letting them do so, the UK is breaking it too. Make them accountable!

Today, an Israeli soldier arbitrarily closed the checkpoint, preventing Palestinians from reaching their homes. Teachers, workers, students, were all blocked from moving freely. 1/2
The great people of Egypt are once again declaring that the cause of Palestine is the cause of the whole world. And when Hossam Hassan raises the Palestinian flag, he pays a heavy price in terms of his international coaching career, and he knows it. 1/2
Thank you to the Jordanian security services for their swift response; we hope they will continue to crack down on the black market and place the booking system under the control of a security agency subject to strict oversight. 1/3
In what Israeli media described as a “historic” move, Israeli authorities have begun work to alter the landmarks of the Ibrahimi Mosque after stripping the Hebron Municipality of its construction and planning authority, in a step that aims to change the mosque’s Islamic identity. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

New “Blue Roads” have appeared in Hebron, including near my home, marked as open exclusively to Israelis. Restricting access to roads based on national identity is institutionalized segregation, not security. 1/2

The number of people leaving the West Bank is roughly equal to the number arriving from Jordan into the West Bank, so why is there such chaos, with the crossing closed, bribes being demanded and people being directed to the VIP lane on the Jordanian side? 1/2
The matter of managing the queue on the Jordanian side of the Karama Crossing must be in the hands of a high-level Jordanian security committee or under the supervision of the Jordanian Parliament, not in the hands of a private company whose sole concern is profit. 1/4
Route 60 is an artery of apartheid, built on stolen Pal. land. Rebranding it as “The Biblical Highway” is a transparent effort to whitewash systemic annexation. Occupation, apartheid, and illegal land confiscation cannot be made lawful through propaganda. #apartheid #hebron
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced that Israel has cancelled the Hebron agreements in the southern occupied West Bank and transferred their powers to Israeli authorities. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260617-isr...

'Settlers in Hebron are clearing a path through private Palestinian land (registered in the Land Registry) near the area they call “Ma’ayan Avraham,” which is actually a spring that the settlers took over a few years ago.'
