BBC News Channel - Our World, Death at the Junction with Yolande Knell

A visit to the main Jerusalem to Hebron road, where shoppers and workers now fear attacks.

The Gush Etzion junction is where Palestinians used to shop and work. Now, everyone is scared that being there could cost them their lives.

Over the past year, a new wave of violence has brought terror to the streets of Israel and the West Bank. Palestinians have attacked Israelis in apparently random acts. In some cases the attackers have been young teenagers, armed with kitchen knives. The Gush Etzion junction is one site of many attacks. It's on the main road between Jerusalem and Hebron and is used by thousands of Jewish settlers. The junction used to be a place where Palestinians would also shop and work. Now people are scared that being there could cost them their lives. The film contains disturbing images from the start.
