Bab al-Khan Street, Hay al-Yahud/Avraham Avinu settlement, Old Town, al-Khalil, December 21, 2016.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) blocked Bab al-Khan Street before the Second Intifada. Since 2001, Palestinians have had no access to either side of the road, and the entire area is surrounded by Israeli checkpoints and blocked roads with the exception of the roads connecting the settlements. The painting on the metal wall showing two men carrying a large cluster of grapes refers to Numbers 13: "(1) And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, (2) Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel . . . (22) And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) (23) And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff."
