Izhar settlers are flattening the area south of the village. The area belongs to Palestinians who have legal ownership. The work takes place at night and because of its proximity to the settlement, they owners cannot come close. The head of the local council approached the Civil Administration and the army, and the answer was: the work is being done for military purposes.

On Sunday, 14.6.18, Izhar settlers burned a Palestinian olive grove of 6 dunam, next to the settlement. This was done towards evening. The grove belongs to our friend Duha, who watched the fire from her porch with her family, and they wept. We stood on the porch and saw the totally burnt grove where only black ashes remained. Of course the fire brigade could not reach the area and by the time they turned to the army, it was already dark.
The post next to the school is manned and two jeeps stand there.
