A
checkpoint
called
Al-Salay
-
meh
or
A-Rajabi,
located
at
the
entrance
to
the
Abu
Sneineh
neighborhood.
It
owes
both
of
its
names
to
the
families
living
nearby.
Both
were
built
in
2001
after
the
beginning
of
the
Second
Intifada.
It
secures
the
road
leading
from
the
Qiryat
Arba
settlement
to
the
Tomb
of
the
Patriarchs.
It
is
part
of
the
road
infrastructure,
designed
as
a
“security”
belt
connecting
all
of
the
settlements
situated
within
the
Old
City.
Palestinian
cars
are
not
allowed
in
the
area,
so
the
road
serves
as
a
passage
intended
strictly
for
settlers’
vehicle
movement.
Settlers
refrain
from
walking
on
this
part
of
the
road,
especially
since
it
runs
in
between
two
Palestinian
neighborhoods.
The
checkpoint
is
composed
of
a
control
cabin,
and
a
barrier
in
the
shape
of
a
road
gate
and
metal
detector,
supplemented
by
the
constant
presence
of
border
police,
who
carefully
check
every
person
entering
the
area.
Soon
it
will
be
changed
and
rebuilt
to
