A walk through Hebron

We had some new people come in today, so two of our more experienced volunteers gave another tour of the parts of Hebron where ISM works. There are some areas that we covered today that we did not go into yesterday. The tour ended with an unexpected twist, which I will discuss in the next post.

A Palestinian water tanker. Notice the bullet holes. They were shot by the settlers.

This building once used to be a Palestinian home. Settlers took it over and made it into...

..."A warm home for soldiers".
