Ash-Sharabaty home lies in Ash-Shuhada’ street, the street is closed by military orders since 1994 after the radical settler “Baroch Goldestein” committed a massacre at the Ibrahimi Mosque, settlers move freely in the area, while residents are not allowed to move, open their stores or repair their homes. The Israeli occupation also forbid any Palestinian from entering the street, residents were given special numbers that they show when they pass through the pass point that close the only Hebron entrance to the street, those who have numbers that prove they live in the street are not allowed to pass through by cars, these Israeli policies make their lives very difficult.
