The
entrance
to
the
Qeitun
neighborhood,
located
on
Al-Sahla
Street.
Regular
check
-
point
composed
of
a
watch
tower,
a
control
cabin
with
metal
detector
standing
in
front
of
it,
passage
and
ongoing
presence
of
soldiers.
It
is
open
only
to
pedestrians.
One
of
two
most
characteristic
elements
of
the
architecture
located
near
the
checkpoint
is
a
parking
lot
intended
for
Israeli
tour
buses.
The
area
used
to
serve
as
a
playground
for
the
nearby
Ibrahimi
School,
since
from
1986
to
1994
it
was
also
used
as
a
flea
market
on
Fridays.
A
second
element
worth
men
-
tioning
is
the
Abu
Rajab
house
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
street
with
Jewish
flags
hanging
from
the
windows
on
the
upper
floor.
This
illustrates
an
example
of
a
hostile
settler
takeover
of
a
Palestinian
house,
as
supported
by
the
state.
The
building
used
to
be
occupied
by
settlers,
who
eventually
were
removed
by
the
police,
but
the
main
part
of
the
house
is
empty
till
this
day.
This
is
because
the
family
who
won
the
court
case
still
hasn’t
received
permission
to
re-enter
the house.
