On Alon Road Route 508 between Gitit Settlement and Hamra CP we saw three Palestinians detained by the IDF. A military camera located on top of a hill caught them picking "Akub" (Gundelia Tournefortii) which is a protected plant. The soldiers told us that this is a "terrorist attack". They were detained for two and a half hours and then were taken by the army, even thought one of the men suffered from an asthma attack.
