Prisoners in our own homes: A look at life in occupied Hebron | +972 Magazine
We know Zleikha Muhtaseb from our tours to Hebron, She lives in a caged
home on the "sterile" Shuhada street. Zleikha is a kindergarten teacher
and an activist in the Youth Against Settlements organization:
"When people ask me, 'How can you continue living like a prisoner in
your home?', my answer is simple: I live here because it is my home, my
street and my city. The settlers want us to leave, but we will remain
and fight for our right to live freely in our home."

commercial center of the city when it was first closed in 1994 to
Palestinian traffic after the Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre, and later to
pedestrians as the army shut down the entire commercial area. (Photo:
