Reportedly, the acquired plot is located in the natural block number two of Sheikh Al-Arba'in and Khallet Al-Nawamis areas, which are to the east of the town. The confiscated land  that is founded amidst the residential neighborhood of Beit Ummar belongs to citizens from Abu Ayyash family. Residents of the area now fear that the occupation will erupt a military watchtower to harass them and restrict their movement.

The village's total area is 21,285 dunums, of which 1,375 dunums are considered the built-up area; around 13, 548 people inhabit Beit Ummar. The Israeli occupation authorities confiscated 560 dunums from Beit Ummar for the favor of the bypass road no.60.  The occupation also confiscated 1,216 dunums for the favor of the following colonies:
