One of the Victims Abdullah Harsha (37) told LRC the following:
“One month ago we coordinated with Al-Faraseen village council to build a water reservoir with a total area of 250 m3, the village council already pumps water to the reservoir , which in turn provides domestic water for six families and irrigation water for 150 dunums planted with olives , Almonds, Guava , thyme, and corn, the demolition will cause dehydration for all these crops ,m noting that agriculture is the main source of income for people of the community who suffer from israeli arbitrary measurements.”
