Israeli Soldiers Threaten Activists and Force Palestinian Shops to Close in Hebron
September 1, 2026
In Hebron’s Old City, Israeli occupation soldiers pointed firearms at Palestinian children and journalists, forced local shopkeepers to shut down, blocked residents from their homes, and pushed press crews back to secure the area for the weekly Shabbat settler march.
As documented by journalist Andrey X (@the.andrey.x ) and solidarity activist Adele Shoko (@adele.shoko ), Palestinian families in Hebron face this forced lockdown and military harassment every single Saturday.
Business owners forced at gunpoint to shutter their shops and abandon their livelihoods to make way for armed settler marches.

This is the weekly reality of living under occupation and military segregation. 🇵🇸
EXPOSE THE REALITY ON THE GROUND.
