The above video has been an internet sensation. Originally called "Rock the Casbah in HEBRON," it’s been viewed over 1.6 million times, and was featured today on Yahoo’s homepage. It has also drawn the wrath of IDF officials who say the soldiers involved could face disciplinary action.

Israeli settlers, who make up less than 1% of the population of Hebron, are the only ones allowed walking to this street.
The annotations end with a link to another youtube video about the situation in Hebron. Hopefully it gets at least half as many views. Here it is:
