When I reached my land, the perpetrators were still there, I asked them why they set the land on fire, they denied. I told them that my son had seen them, they replied in Hebrew –which is a language I speak- We will set you in fire if you do not leave the place, so I left with other farmers.
Aj-Jiawi was a victim of several Israeli assaults since the Israeli occupation authorities built an Apartheid wall in the town. Israeli troops fire gas-bombs towards Aj-Jiawi and his herd to force him evict his lands that surround the wall.
Noteworthy, the apartheid wall devoured 20 dunums of the Idhna’s land.
