It should be noted that Kfar Ad-Dik town as other Palestinian villages, cities and camps suffers from the Israeli escalation of attacks and violations against basic rights including the right to housing . By 2000, more than 20 residences were served stop-work orders on the claim of them being location in area classified "C" according to Oslo Accords. Despite that owners of structures apply for building permits, Israeli Occupation Authorities never grant them such licenses for Palestinians.
Kfar ad Dik [i]
Kfar ad Dik is located 15 km to the west of Salfit. It is surrounded by Bidya (north), Rafat and Deir Ballut (west), Bruqin and Sarta (east), and Bani Zaid villages (south). Kfar ad Dik has a population of 4553 people, according to a 2007 census. Its total area is 15529 dunums; however, it has been suffocated by bypasses and 3 Israeli colonies that lay over its lands. This has further limited its expansion knowing that it had already had a 791-dunum organizational plan (built-up area); it also isolated the village from its surroundings. The Israeli occupation confiscated 2477 dunums of Kfar ad Dik lands for the benefit of:
