Hebron after 1967 חברון אחרי 1967

Jews lived in Hebron for centuries until the 1929 massacre, in which 67 were killed, and the last families left in 1936. After the Six-Day War Rabbi Moshe Levinger and a group of families celebrated Passover 1968 in the city and stayed. The government built Kiryat Arba beside it in 1971, and Jewish homes returned to the city center from 1979. Since the 1997 Hebron Protocol the city has been divided between Palestinian and Israeli control, and the Cave of the Patriarchs is shared under separate prayer arrangements.
