Empty souq and security fence


Empty souq and security fence
Originally uploaded by bastchild.

I arrived on Friday, just after lunch, and within an hour, the busy souq emptied and closed up. Very eerie. On the right is a security fence to protect a Jewish settlement, but I think this one has been abandoned. A fence had to be placed over the souq area next to the settlement because bottles and bricks would shower down on the Palestinian shoppers. That's nice.
