A resident of the Khalet Al-Hmam village in Bethlehem district, West Bank, rides a horse near the Israeli Separation Wall, November 18, 2013. The community of Khalet Al-Hmam is home to five families of more than 80 people who were completely isolated from the rest of Bethlehem by the Israeli Separation Wall in 2004. Its residents must now apply for annual permits in order to cross the checkpoint and Wall to access their homes.
