===14-04-04 PALESTINE: Hebron - Breaking Silence tour of Shuhada street.===
Hebron, April 4 - a large group of visitors on tour with Breaking Silence, an IDF veterans' Human Rights organization, came to Hebron today for a visitt, which wascoordinated in advance.
The street, formerly a main commence and traffic center, it today maintained Palestinians' sterile, with hundreds of shops and homes are welded shut.
Among the heavy load of civil and military personnel, a ski-masked person stood out. He is likely to be a Shin-Bet agent, and the appearance of unidentified, masked law enforcement is a hallmark of fascist regimes.

===14-04-04 PALESTINE: Hebron - IDF attempts to stop activists' tour to Tel Rumeida===
Hebron, March 4 - attempt was made by IDF to stop a Breaking Silence tour to Tel Rumeida, under a fake "Decree", purportedly issued by the town's military commander, setting the area a "closed military zone".

Breaking the Silence, is an IDF veterans' Human Rights initiative, which documents the abuses, resulting from IDF military rule over Palestine, and also educates the public in Israel and abroad regarding such abuses.

After being stopped by military personnel on the ground for about 30 minute, the tour continued to Tel Rumeia, when it turned out that the purported "Decree" had never existed. Later, the tour was hassled by local settlers.

Tell Rumeida is a small hill in the center of Hebron. It is the location of:
* Palestinian homes and lands, among them:
- the "Cage House" of the Abu Essa family, completely caged in metal for protection against settlers' abuse.
- Guest house and education center of Youth against Settlements - a non-violent, local Palestinian group.
* An Israeli Archaeological Park of dubious archaeological merits
* A small but militant settlement, home of Baruch Marzel, a local settlers' leader.
* Dubious new Jewish holy sites: The Tombs of Jesse and Ruth.
* An IDF base.

The testimonies of Breaking Silence and Youth against Settlements document the daily absurd and abusive conditions, where people on the same locale are subjected to separate and different legal systems (i.e. Israeli civil courts versus Israeli military courts) relative to their conduct at the same event, at the same time and place, based on their ethnic affiliation, which also correlates with religious affiliation.

During the tour, around 2:00 pm, shots and bast grenades were heard elsewhere in Hebron. Such incidents are routine on Friday at the end of prayers in the mosques.

The town of Hebron is home to some 20,000-30,000 Muslim Palestinians, and some 700 Jewish settlers. The worst violence in Hebron was in the 1994 massacre of Palestinians by an Israeli settler at the Tomb of the Patriarchs. The town' Palestinians, but not the settlers were subsequently subjected to months long curfew, where Palestinians were not permitted to exit their homes.

Also since the 1994 massacre, a six-nation force - ITPH (International Temporary Presence Hebron). under United Nations coordination - patrols the city on a regular basis.
