Hebron Voices
Palestinians discuss their trepidation about the
coming days.
INA FRIEDMAN SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS
T
he headlines reverse them-
selves from day to day in
forecasting the expected
military redeployment in
Hebron. But for the 10,000 or so
Palestinians who live in the area
of the "Jewish Quarter" and Cave
of the Patriarchs that will remain
under Israeli control, it seems that
whatever the Israelis do, God has
already "redeployed" in Hebron.
And He has left them trapped in
a God-forsaken enclave.
Already, no Israeli troops are
readily visible in what will become
the Palestinian-controlled area of
Hebron. Cars bearing official
Palestinian Authority license
plates seem to confirm reports
that the redeployment, for all in-
tent purposes, has already taken
place.
The sector with the Jews, how-
ever, has become a warren of
streets ending in no-entry signs
and electronically operated road
blocks that make movement on
foot, and certainly by car, a night-
mare.
A section of a main city thor-
oughfare has been blocked and
converted into the wholesale veg-
etable market, replacing the large
building that has been closed
since the massacre of 29 Pales-
tinians in the Cave of the Patri-
archs in February 1994. As such,
about 100 Palestinians shops lin-
ing the area have been shut — not
by military order but due to the
sheer loss of business. Arab He-
bronites simply avoid areas in the
proximity of the Jewish settlers.

vegetable market, located inside
