Beit Ummar, Etzion DCL, Tue 31.1.12, Afternoon
15:00 pm, Etzion DCL: ironically, on a day when there were no clients at all, a soldier was present at the window! She told us that a number of people had come in the morning.
We decided to drive south.
Beit Ummar: at the entrance to Beit Ummar there was an army vehicle and a few soldiers standing next to it.
Between Beit Ummar and Nabi Yunis stood an army vehicle and police car facing north. A longish line of traffic formed behind them – but this had disappeared when we returned from Nabi Yunis.

Beit Ummar
The Gush Etzion-Hebron road - which is the main axis of the southern Hebron Mountains - passes through the boundaries of the village. Many incidents of stone throwing occurred on this section of road. There is a checkpoint at the entrance to the village.
In March 2006, a 25-dunam land seizure order was issued around the settlement for the purpose of establishing a "special security area" (SHBM) and a warning fence around the nearby settlement, Carmei Tzur. In April 2019, 401 dunams of the land of the villages of Beit Omer and Halhul were expropriated for the purpose of paving a road that bypasses the house of Omer to the east. Demonstrations are held by the villagers against the seizure of land with the participation of Palestinian, Israeli and international activists.
