Noteworthy that Kherbit Ras Al Ahmar has always witnessed similar violation and has always been affected by the direct demolition of their construction by the Israeli forces, thus every year they are either displaced, shot at, or suffer from economic losses due to these violations.

It is worth mentioning that there is a huge difference between “Khirbet Ras Alahmar” and its neighboring Israeli settlements in terms of land fertility. Thus if a vistor goes to “Ras Al Ahmar” he will notice the catastrophic effects caused by the Israeli violations and if one compares it to the neighboring Israeli farming compound near it he will sense it. Over the past years, Israelis have been randomly building around these compounds preventing Palestinians to extend in their lands which is a normal result of the time-race Israel is doing in order to confiscate and rule as much land as possible causing huge economic and demographic damage on the Palestinian compounds.
