Kafr ad-Dik:[1]
Kafr 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).
Kafr ad Dik has a population of 5551 people, according to a 2017 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 Kafr ad Dik lands for the benefit of:
