Hebron


Hebron

I took a bus from the Arab bus station just outside Damascus gate to visit the West Bank. I had to take three different vehicles to get there, crossing from Palestinian areas to Israeli-controlled areas, and back again. A lot of short cuts. Hebron is where there is a mosque built on the site of Abraham's cave, and, possibly, Adam and Eve's tombs. It is also a place of tension with Israel settlers that moved into the area and a strong IDF presence.
