After the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel occupied Hebron and established a military government to rule the West Bank. In 1997, Hebron was divided between Palestinian and Israeli control, with Israel maintaining parts of the commercial center and illegal settlements. Palestinians are barred from the principal commercial street and must enter their homes through alleys or rooftops, while settlers throw trash into Palestinian streets protected by nets.

control over H2, which contained significant
parts of the commercial center as well as the
Israeli settlements, considered illegal under
international law.
