Hundreds of Palestinians are preparing to demonstrate in Hebron, a city in the occupied West Bank, after Friday prayers.

The protest is against Israel’s closure of one of the main roads in the city 12 years ago, which was done to only allow Israelis to settle there.

Protests calling on authorities to open the road that links Hebron with the nearby towns of the other nearby Palestinian towns are held on a weekly basis.
