One
of
the
most
photographed
checkpoints
in
Hebron.
It
is
a
symbol
of
the
occupation,
separating
area
H1
from
H2
and
closing
the
entrance
to
Al-Shu
-
hada
Street.
In
its
current
state
(since
October
2015),
it
has
become
one
of
the
cruelest
images
of
the
occupation.
Its
heavy
structure
represents
all
of
the
elements
of
the
Israeli
machine
of
control.
Composed
of
a
container
equipped
with
a
control
room
and
metal
detec
-
tor,
watch
point
on
the
top
of
the
roof
and
three
passages
the
first
leading
to
the
container,
the
second
allowing
residents
to
leave
the
site
after
having
been
checked,
and
a
third
one
serv
-
ing
as
an
exit
from
Al-Shuhada
Street.
All
elements
are
secured
by
a
metal
net
giving
the
whole
structure
the
impression
of
a
cage.
The
checkpoint
is
perma
-
nently
staffed
by
soldiers.
Since
October
2015,
only
holders
of
residential
numbers
are
allowed
to
pass,
which
forbids
residents
even
from
visits
to
relatives
if
they do not live in the area.
