From International Solidarity Movement (ISM) – Over 100 Palestinians together with international solidarity activists gathered in Hebron this Saturday to protest against the closure of Al-Shuhada Street. As a response to the infamous YouTube video of soldiers dancing near the illegal settlement of Tel-Rumeida, some protesters staged a dance protest: three dancers took the role of soldiers and searched and “arrested” three Palestinians.They performed in front of the gate that closes off Al-Shuhada Street and prohibits all Palestinians from using it. The demonstrators called for justice and the opening of Al-Shuhada Street, and for the inhabitants of illegal Israeli settlements to leave the city and take the soldiers with them.

The demonstration, held weekly on a Saturday afternoon, then turned and paraded through the town. As they approached the market the peaceful protesters’ path was blocked by a line of soldiers armed with M-16 rifles – some of whom were seen kicking and hitting protesters. After a short sit-in the protest continued by turning around and heading towards the Old City.
