- This comes amid ‘Israeli’ restrictions in Hebron’s old city.
Footage captured by Bilal al-Taweel on Saturday shows Palestinian children in Hebron’s old city turning an ‘Israeli’ checkpoint into a volleyball net, as ‘Israeli’ settlers watch from a nearby terrace.
The scene highlights the restrictions Palestinian residents face in Hebron’s Old City, where ‘Israeli’ checkpoints and barriers regulate movement and can limit access to homes, schools, shops and places of worship.
The area falls within H2, the part of Hebron under 'Israeli' control, where movement restrictions have disrupted daily life for Palestinian residents and affected local businesses. In May 2026, ‘Israeli’ forces installed a new metal gate on a main road leading to the Old City, further restricting access for around 130 Palestinian families, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
