Today, Sunday, settlers demolished parts of the old market in the center of Hebron, which has been closed since 1983.

The Director General of the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee, Imad Hamdan, said that a number of settlers demolished external arches in the old market, under the protection of the occupation army.

Hamdan explained that the Hebron municipality obtained a precautionary order from the occupation court to stop building 31 settlement units in the old market from 2017 to 2021, but the so-called "Higher Settlement Council" allowed the construction to be completed after that.

He pointed out that the settlers' excavation and construction work has been in progress for some time, explaining that work is underway to follow up on these cases in the courts, to stop the settlers' plans for settlement expansion in the area.
