It should be marked that the factory and the residence are located on a land relative to Palestine Ministry of Endowment “Waqf”; the land was leased in reference to the ministry.
The area of Deir Abu Hajaleh accommodates 1200 fertile agricultural dunums that are owned by the Ministry of Endowment; those lands are granted to farmers for certain periods of time (i.e. 10 years) to invest the land and benefit the residents of the area. This resulted in greater economic revenue for the area and the farmers as well.
Thus, the area became an interest for the occupation and its colonial expansion and land grab plans.
