the Israeli Occupation Authorities transforms lands in the seam zone into grazing areas, Faqqu’a Village

 

 

 
Violation: the Israeli Occupation Authorities transforms lands in the seam zone into grazing areas.
Location: Faqu’a village – Jenin.
Date: April 10, 2013.
 
Details:
 
Since the construction of the Israeli Segregation wall, the colonists have been using the Palestinian lands that are isolated behind the wall as their own. Colonists living in the so-called "Kibbutz" have been setting their cows and cattle to graze in Palestinian lands behind the wall.
 
It started in 2006, when colonists of the nearby Yair Kibbutz set their cows to graze in the area. The Palestinian responded by filing an official complaint which resulted in nothing.

Faqu’a:
 
The wall section around Faqu’a is 6 km long; it surrounds the village from three sides and is 15 to 150 away from residences. The Israeli Occupation Army placed two gates on the wall section around the village; these gates are closed all year round except in the olive-picking season when they are opened for limited hours and entrance is subject to obtaining permits according to the Israeli criteria.
 
In the last olive-picking season, only 22 Palestinians were allowed to pass through the gates for olive picking. Many of the Palestinians residences near the wall are facing continuous threats due to the Israeli measures.
