In addition, the Israeli dozers leveled lands in three sites in Beit Ulla:
- Atous:
One of the most targeted areas in the town; the Israeli Occupation Authorities claim that the area is "state property" and ban any work in the area. Israeli patrols are keeping an eye on Palestinian farmers activities and any reclamation or rehabilitation of land is faced with immediate destruction. In May, the Israeli Occupation Army leveled lands, property of Mohammad AlAmleh; an 80-m3- cistern and 600 m2 of retaining walls were knocked down in the process.
