It should be marked that the targeted family has been living in the area since 20 years ago; agriculture and animals husbandry are the family’s only source of income. Noteworthy, Id’eis family hails from the area of Imran in Yatta, southern Hebron.
Mr. Mahmoud Id’eis told a researcher from Land Research Center that the Israeli occupation targeted them four consecutive times during the past ten year; all attacks came under the claim of “unlicensed construction”, taking into account that the structures were built four years ago.
