Land confiscated for settlement protection Qarut and Jalud Villages

August 27, 2006
in Military Orders
Land confiscated for settlement protection Qarut and Jalud Villages

The Israeli occupation forcers (IOF) issued a military decree stating the confiscation of at least 200 square meters from the lands of the villages of Qarut and Jalud, Nablus governorate, for the establishment of what the decree called 'technological security devices', that is,the inception of watch towers and detecting cameras around the settlements of Shilo and Mistpe Shilo. The decree which carries the number of T/61/06 was issued last month. According to the maps attached to it the target land is distributed over 10 different locations surrounding the settlement of Shilo and the nearby Mitspe Shilo. Each location is 20 square meters. They are located in the following areas:   

1.     Jalud village: basin number 13 ( Al Khafafish location), basin number 12 (Sura and Ras Emweis locations);

2.     Qarut village: Basin 1 ( Ras Emweis location, basin number 4 ( Silon location). See Photo 1

 

The settlement of Shilo was established in 1979 over lands confiscated from surrounding Palestinian villages. In 2004, its population toll along with Mitpse Shilo reached 1825 settlers.  Their current built up area is 482 dunums, while their municipal area is 3276 dunums.

 

Qarut and Jalud villages

The village of Qarut is located about 27 km to the south of Nablus city. Its population reaches 2500 inhabitants. Its total surface land area is 8471 dunums of which 614 are built up area.

 

Jalud is only 3 km to the south east of Qarut, or 30 km to the south of Nanlus. its population reaches now 500. Jalud's total land area is 16517 dunums, including 98 dunums as built up area. See Map 1

 

The two villages have been under continuous violations on the part of Israeli settlers from the three close settlements of Shilo, Mistpe Shilo and Shevot Rachel. The ongoing violations include, among many others, land confiscation campaigns, land bulldozing, physical attacks against farmers and shepherds, tree uprooting and burning, prevention of access to agricultural fields as well as confiscation of products and yields.

 

Since the beginning of this year, hundreds of dunums of fertile agricultural lands have been besieged between the three settlements as a result of building a road network for connecting the three settlements together. Local agricultural roads have, also, been cut off as a result of road building in the area.

In August, 2005, the IOF released military decree number T/146/05 stipulating the confiscation of 1200 dunums of land in Jabel Al Qal'a Al Hambra (the red rock mountain) in basin number 1 which is located at the eastern borders of the settlement of Eli. The land was seized under security claims. It is mostly planted with fruitful olive trees whose owners, since five years, have been unable to tend because of proximity to Eli settlement.

 

Mr. Mamdoh Mohammed Ibed, from Qarut, described the situation in the village as tragic. In an interview with LRC field worker, he went on to say that: 'We live in constant horror and worry. We are forbidden from any movement at night as our home is close and supervised by the military watch towers around the settlement of Shilo. If any attack takes place against Israeli settlers in Nablus district curfew will be imposed on us day and night and our life become unbearable'.

Further punishment measures

 

To further complicate life for the inhabitants of the village of Qarut, the IOF closed last Thursday the main southern entrance to the village with earth mounds and rocks. In addition, the IOF filled up with earth the water spring which serves as the main water source for the village citizens. This repressive action will further aggravate water availability in the village especially after blocking access to Mekharot's water point as a result of closing the village entrance. In related development, the Israeli occupation authorities have recently issued a number of house demolition orders under the pretext of un-licensing.
