Halhul was exposed to inhuman practices by all occupation authorities since
the British Mandate.
In 1938 the British soldiers enclosed all men aged between sixteen and sixty in a barbed wire compound during July - the hottest month of the year -. This caused the death of 15 men because of thirst and hunger. During the Israeli Occupation, the whole town was put under curfew several times. The longest curfew extended sixteen days in 1978 and two students were shot dead in cold blood. The greater part of the old town of Halhul was demolished by the Israeli Military forces.
After the Oslo Agreement, Halhul was supposed to be free, but the redeployment
has been postponed since 7th March-1997.
