RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Hebron, 31 December 2021. Palestinian protesters clash with Israeli troops in the West Bank city of Hebron.


STORYLINE:

Some 700 Israelis from illegal settlements live among a Palestinian population of nearly 40,000 in the H2 area of Hebron that makes up 20 percent of the city.

Under international law, the entire West Bank is considered illegally occupied by Israel.

Hebron was once a major commercial, cultural and religious hub for Palestinians in the southern West Bank who came there to shop, conduct business and pray, before escalating political tensions left the Palestinian population paying a high price.

When the second Palestinian uprising, or Intifada, erupted in 2000, the Israeli army imposed an indefinite curfew on Hebron that lasted until 2004 after Palestinian gunmen targeted settlers and soldiers in deadly retaliatory attacks.
