It should be marked that financial losses were estimated of 60,000 NIS. Noteworthy, this attack is not one of a kind; the occupation has previously targeted the area with confiscation and demolitions as well.
The area of Al-Buq'a is known for its fertile lands and is famous for grapes cultivation. It should be marked that the colonies of Kiryat Arbaa and Kharsine are located on lands from Al-Buq'a. Colonists of the aforementioned often carry out attacks on AL-Buq'a area and farmers.
