On 13 Aug. 2017, Rania al-Muhtaseb documented Israeli security forces
coming to her home in central Hebron and welding shut a door to the
house, on the unfounded grounds that the entrance served “fleeing
suspects”. The forces used severe violence against her aunt, Zleikhah
al-Muhtaseb, 55, who tried to prevent the welding. This is yet another
example Israel’s policy of segregation and restriction on Palestinian
movement in central Hebron, which is coupled with abuse, violence and
daily harassment by security forces and settlers.
