Al ‘Arma area is facing constant aggressions from Itmar colonists which is located between the Palestinian villages of ‘Awarta, Al Yanoun, Beta, and ‘Awarta. The area has been a target for colonists attacks since 2000; the area has been a target for massive land confiscations as well.
 
Beit Dajan Facing similar aggressions:
On March 18, 2011, Alon Moreh colonists stormed Al Toyour area destroying more than 460 5-year-old olive trees. The trees were the property of Jamal abu Kanaan who planted the trees 3 years ago covering a 10 dunum area. It must be noted that the colonists, after cutting the trees,  took them to the colony. The colonists, protected by Israeli soldiers brough with them a huge truck in order to do so.
 
Al Toyour is located on a mountain steep nearby the colony making it a constant target for aggressions.
The Israelis have apparently realized how important olive trees are for the Palestinians that’s why Israeli soldiers and colonists have been using different measures against these trees. Uprooting, burning, cutting, and spraying olive trees with toxic gases caused the Palestinian loss of hundreds of olive trees.
