Al Bowereh

Al Bowereh is a northeastern neighborhood of Hebron (Al-Khalil in Arabic) that lies directly opposite Givat Harsina, one of the four neighborhoods of the settlement Kiryat Arba. Israeli settlers have constructed the outpost named Hilltop 26 on Palestinian farmland, and the outpost is considered illegal under both international and Israeli law. Settlers have erected seven buildings in the outpost. They regularly attack Palestinians living there, including children as they walk to and from school. This harassment takes the form of stone throwing, physical assault, the uprooting of grape vines and destruction of other crops, vandalism, and intimidation.
Since November 2009, CPT has provided a consistent protective presence in the area, especially for the children returning home from school. If any settlers are present, CPT attempts to deter violence and documents the details from the encounter.
