An Israeli soldier guards Jewish settlers wearing costumes in the annual Purim parade in Hebron, West Bank, to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Purim, on March 12, 2017. The festival of Purim commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people from Haman's plot to kill all Jews in ancient Persia, 2,5000 years ago, as recorded in the Biblical book of Esther.
