"The municipality of As-Samu‘ in Hebron removed the iron gate in the Wadi al-Qutfa area, west of the town, amid calls for other West Bank municipalities to take the same step."

As-Samu‘ (السموع) is a Palestinian town located south of Hebron in the southern West Bank, under the Hebron Governorate.

Wadi al-Qutfa (وادي القطفة) is a small valley to the west of As-Samu‘, within the same municipality’s lands, in Area C (under full Israeli military control).

The area lies near the separation barrier and agricultural roads connecting to the villages of Ad-Dhahiriya and Beit Yattir.
