Rabi pointed out that fire ate 2 car wheels used as pots. He also said that the Israeli occupation police showed up at the place after being called after by some international supporters. The police investigated about why the burnt car wheels were used as pots and nothing more. Colonists also let out their livestock into Rabi’s land where they damaged about 100 dunums planted with grains.
