Israeli soldiers also chased Palestinian workers near the Israeli apartheid wall to the west of Hebron, while the workers were on their way to their workplaces inside Israel.
Palestinian workers usually use holes dug through the wall on their way to the workplace to avoid overcrowding at major Israeli checkpoints.

Meantime, Israeli soldiers denied access to Palestinian farmers into their own land in the town of Beit Ummar, to the north of Hebron, a local source told WAFA.
Yousef Abu Maria, a local activist, said that Israeli soldiers and Jewish settlers gathered outside the illegal Israeli settlement of Karmei Zur, which is adjacent to the town, and denied access to Palestinian farmers into their land and asked them to leave the area.
