About Far'un:
Far'un is located 3 km to the south of Tulkarm, edging the armistice line. Its total area is 8000 dunums which were reduced to 4000 due to the construction of the segregation wall. It is inhabited by 3500 people, most of them are farmers. 70 % of the village lands are planted with olives and citrus; however, the planted area is shrinking due to water shortage and land confiscations.
