Details:
On January 25, 2013, colonists of the so-called ‘Women in Green’ group, led by Nadia Matar, planted a large number of olive seedlings in Palestinian agricultural fields in al Khader which is edged by the colonies of Eleazer and Ezyon. The colonists were protected by tens of Israeli soldiers.
Nadia Matar, a colonization activist, called the colonists to participate in this day by sending invitations through the social networks; she called for the importance of capturing these lands.
Tens of villagers stood in the face of colonists and clashes erupted, but the armed soldiers pushed the Palestinians away. The villagers complained to the Israeli Occupation Civil Administration in a desperate bid to protect the threatened lands.
