Deir Razeh:

It is located to the south of Hebron and inhabited by approximately 500 people who depend largely on agriculture in their living. The village affairs are administered by a village council while having an elementary school, a mosque, and a kindergarten. The Israelis had blocked the main entrance of the village for almost 10 years and have been reopened last year. This had dramatic effect on the village and its residents.
