The first demolition took place on March 10, 2015 and reached out 6 residences.

The targeted families depend on agriculture as their only source of income, taking into consideration that they work as farmers in their vegetables and wheat fields; they have been residing the area since 15 years, taking into account that al-Makhrouq lands are registered as "Tabo" and owned by people from al-Jiftlik and the nearby villages.
