In Hebron .. "Albrnp" Ttqq names dozens of Palestinian sites

Awad Al-Rajoub-Hebron

Haj al-Sabeini Muhammad Dib al-Natsheh feels in Ghassa whenever he goes to the Ibrahimi Mosque to pray. He passed by his old school, "Osama bin Munqez", which is fortified today with soldiers, walls and barbed wire.

Natsheh still mentions the names of his teachers at that school, especially the preacher of the late Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Mohammed Rashad Al-Sharif, as he was following his student in that school to make sure the arrival of the information "as if digging holes in his memory."

Hundreds of meters away from the Ibrahimi Mosque, a building - probably built in the Ottoman era in the late 18th century - was called the "Istinboli House" and connected to the mosque through underground lanes.

Judaization of a school
The use of the building varied before the Israeli occupation, and the school was last used until the moment of the settlers' takeover of it in 1982 and turning it into a settlement outpost, and then to a Jewish religious institute called Beit Romano.

The Osama school was built of two floors with seven rows. Today, several floors of the old building were added. The Hebrew name was added and the candlestick was excavated at the top of its facades built of Palestinian stone.

The school is not the only one that has been tampered with. It called the Israeli occupation "Kiryat Arba" and called the Ibrahimi Mosque "Mekhbila Cave". The army called Shuhada Street or the Muslim Brotherhood Street, Chicago Street. David. "

These are examples of dozens of Arab and Islamic sites in the city of Hebron, specifically the old town, which changed the occupation names to Hebrew, mostly as rabbis and leaders served the project of Jewish settlement in Palestine.

Correct the novel
Badr al-Da'our al-Tamimi heads the traditional handicraft collection in Hebron and owns a shop selling antiques and handicrafts. He is separated by a wall of fort, wire and a military tower from the school where his father and older siblings studied.

The man helps his position in the Federation of Tourism Industries to contact tourists and visitors to the city and takes it upon himself to evacuate the picture of the place and provide the Palestinian version of the foreign visitors.

Tamimi said that the school used the headquarters of the Ottoman state and then hidden in the British era, and was characterized by a strategic location near the bus and market square, but today turned into a religious institute to join about 400 settlers.

The Palestinian merchant was surprised a few days ago by an active movement of settlers on the opposite side of his shop opposite the school. He asked with two foreign solidarity activists who were living in the city to clarify the picture. The surprise was to prepare dozens of people in Hebrew and English for comment on the streets and alleys of old Hebron.

In the alleys of Hebron dozens of people are absent in the language and Arabic names of sites, places and streets, within the policy of "Hebron and Judaize" the city of Khalil Ibrahim and give it a biblical character.

Tabu street
The signposts serve as a final registration document for the place, says Abdul Raouf al-Muhtasib, who owns a shop opposite the Ibrahimi Mosque and suffered a lot from encouraging the settlers to buy his shop and terrorize them by attacking him.

In the heart of the city of Hebron, there are five settlement outposts set up at sites seized after the occupation of the city in 1967. Today, the number of settlers in the heart of Hebron is estimated at 500.

The old town of Hebron, including the Ibrahimi Mosque, is located in an area called "Kh2" under the Hebron Agreement signed in 1997 between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Israeli government. It comprises about 20% of the area of ​​Hebron and is inhabited by about 45 Palestinians. Which was called "Kh1" and inhabited by about 220 thousand Palestinians.

The closure of the city and dozens of military checkpoints killed the city after dozens of shops were forcibly closed. According to the Israeli human rights organization B'tselem, the ongoing restrictions and harassment suffered by the Palestinians are turning their lives into an unbearable hell. "This means that the authorities are trying to carry out continuous transfer against Palestinians in the center of Hebron."
