About Furush Beit Dajan:
It is located in the middle of Palestinian Jordan Valley and is considered an extension of Beit Dajan village, east of Nablus. It has a total population of 1500 people, 50% of which descend from Bedouin origins; sheep grazing and agriculture are the main sources of income for such people
The village has a total land area of 14000 dunums; the occupation confiscated 12000 dunums of it for the sake of establishing the colony of al-Hamra in the western side of the village, the colony of Mekhora in the southern part and a military camp in the eastern side of it.
The village lacks a master plan; a thing that allowed dozens of residences to be notified by the occupation in addition to other dozens that were demolished as a result.
The village has about 450 dunums of protected vegetables and 1600 dunums of citrus plantation.
