We began this cloudy day by hoping for rain, which fell in Farsiya and a drizzle in Khalat Makhul.  People who did not manage to cover their bundles of hay suffered damage.

We went to water the cows in the spring of Ein El Hilweh and visited K. in the field where his home had been demolished. In the meantime he has put up a small tent that includes a sleeping area and kitchen, and a diwan – a tent for receiving guests with the sofas and chairs that were saved.   They have a court order that forbids further demolition until a specific date that is in the near future, so meanwhile they are not attempting to rebuild.  The remains of their previous home have not yet been removed.

We distributed clothing and everything that we had brought to families in the area.

Occasionally a settler appears in Farsiya, which is guarded by the escorts, He makes noise with his ATV and then disappears and comes back.  Last night he snuck in and opened the faucet on one of the family’s water tanks without anyone noticing.

Smotrich’s ATVs are constantly driving around the area, disrupting and sniffing around.

We spent a pleasant hour with the children from the Dragma family in Farsiya.  We then continued to distribute tuition to students in Samara, Ein Hilweh, and Samra.

Fences have been built along the Alon Route on one or both sides of the road.  The fences do not allow the shepherds to cross from one side to the other with their flocks.

There was a traffic jam in both directions near the Hamra Checkpoint.
