A new colonial complex on the segregated lands behind the apartheid wall:
It should be mentioned that the Israeli occupation, since the establishment of the wall in the western part of Jenin in 2003-2003, linked the colonies of Shaked, Hinanit , Rihan, and Tal Menashe to the new Rihan complex. This complex was linked with main roads with Me 'me and Kitszer that are located within the occupied territories of 1948. The aforementioned territories became a huge colonial location, annexing massive area of lands from the villages of Ya'bad, Barta'a and Um er-Rihan. Not only that, the forest lands of Umra were used for the favor of infrastructure, services and transportations of the new complex.
The colony of Shaked(amongst all colonies in the complex) had many privileges in terms of the master plan expansion and the annexation of new outposts for the sake of accumulating more colonists.
Shaked's Industrial zone:
The industrial zone that is relative to Shaked colony is what makes it very special. The zone includes 9 factories of (leathers, iron, cardboard, plastic furniture, and other industries) and is located in the northeastern side of the colony.
This very area got best privileges as opposed to other peers behind the green line in terms of electricity and water supply, tax reduction, and open market, which in that sense served at the area's prosperity, continuity, and sustainability.
About Shaked:
It was established in 1981 and has a total population of 686 colonist most of whom are right-wing extremists. The colony is considered a growing one during the past decade where the apartheid wall served at its expansion.
