The total area of the landfill is one dunum that is reported to be owned by the heirs of Hasan Najjar. Noteworthy, the land used to be a wheat field before being confiscated.
The area of south Burin witnesses constant and periodic attacks and violations carried out by Yizhar colonists. Around 35 dunums of "colony buffer zone" are declared inaccessible for Palestinian but through specific permits and only during specific times in the year. On the contrary, colonists are allowed to take over lands and expand on them.
