The violent outposts of Esh Kodesh, Kida, Yeshav Ya'at, Ahaya, and Adei Ad. Some outposts were established on Jalud lands, and are about to receive kosher. The village is planning to fight for its land. 85% of the village's lands are in area C, and its residents are anxious that they may be taken from them. In fact, throughout the years of occupation, thousands of dunams of agricultural land were expropriated from Jalud and the surrounding villages for military and settlement purposes. These are lands that were cultivated for generations by Palestinians and were taken from them without the possibility of resistance. Since the death of the 16-year-old boy from the hills, Ahuvia Sendak, in December 2020, during a police chase near the settlement of Kochav Hashar, there has been a significant increase in the number of violent attacks by settlers, which have already become routine all over the West Bank. The attacks include breaking into the village mainly at night, setting fire to vehicles, smashing windows and windshields, demolishing construction sites and stealing equipment, shooting with live fire, blocking roads, and more. In recent years, IDF soldiers have been backing and sponsoring these riots.
