The Al-Hathroura Bedouin community is subjected to repeated attacks as part of the occupation’s broader policy against Bedouin communities in the Jerusalem Governorate, particularly those extending from Mikhmas to Wadi al-Nar. The colonists have established approximately 23 outposts that serve as gathering points from which they launch their daily attacks against Bedouin citizens, with the aim of forcibly displacing them from their lands.
Israeli paramilitary colonists, at dawn on Sunday, cut down about forty olive trees owned by citizen Asaad Kanaan, in the neighborhood area in the town of Mikhmas, north of occupied Jerusalem, in a new attack added to a series of ongoing violations against citizens and their lands.
In a related context, colonists attacked the neighborhood area yesterday evening, as citizens suspect that the colonists placed unknown materials inside one of the water wells used to irrigate agricultural lands, before the intervention of young men and their departure to the area forced the colonists to withdraw from the place.
This attack comes days after the occupation forces demolished a park and a sports field that the residents were using, in the context of escalating attempts to control the area, which is subjected to continuous attacks and harassment by the colonists, with support and protection from the occupation forces.
It is worth noting that the colonists established a colonial outpost near the site, which is used as a gathering and planning point for repeated attacks against farmers and their lands, in light of the escalation of attacks and systematic targeting of the area.
