Citizen Tha'er Qawasmi (40) asserted that that a force from the occupation army accompanied by five military dozers and a truck raided his lands and neighbors' lands and embarked on ravaging the location.
Dozers reached out a 220m retaining wall that surrounds the plot of citizen Qawasmi ; the citizen's 3.6 dunum plot was ravaged with all trees uprooted. Not only that, a 150m2 greenhouse was demolished and a hole was made in a 200m3 water cistern that was used to serve the land.

It should be marked that Qawasmi ran a reclamation on his land that is located atop of a hill in Suba area. The man established retaining walls and planted the plot with trees but the occupation notified it with stop-work and construction on all the aforementioned structures in 2010. In addition, an eviction order was served on the plot under the pretext of it being "State Property".

After being delivered the orders, citizen Qawasmi prepared a legal file to object the orders in Israeli courts through attorney Ghayyath Naser and also applied to obtain a building permit. Despite all that, the occupation came and carried out demolition on his land.
Qawasmi pointed out that the occupation carried out the attack without showing any court decision and when asking the responsible officer about such a paper, all he showed was just a map !.
