It should be noted that the owners of the cars used to use them to facilitate their work and this will prove to be costly. The colonists herds manage to find new ways to damage Palestinian lives and property; a wide range of aggressions have been recorded throughout the years, cutting trees, burning cars and property, sabotaging, targeting people, especially journalists and medics, among others.
Such actions are conducted under the protection, blessing, and probably supervision of the Israeli Occupation Army troops deployed in the area.
Beit Furik has been suffering from organized aggressions organized by Itma and Alon Moreh colonists; these colonies are inhabited by radical colonists with a mentality driven towards expelling the Palestinians and annihilating their properties, probably their whole existence as well.
