Farmer Nemr ‘Ali Ahmed told LRC: “Most o the targeted rooms were built before at least four years, and were used to store agricultural tools and several agricultural materials, in addition to providing a resting place for families , the area is heavily targeted by Israeli military notices , and colonists are always present at the area , harassing citizens.”
Kafr Ad-Dik area witnesses daily assaults that included uprooting tens of olive saplings, and land grabs for future colonial projects.
During the past few years, the occupation targeted a large number of facilities in Kafr Ad-Dik town , with halt of work notices , that exceeded 38 in number since the beginning of 2021 and until this day , especially at the northern and western parts of the town.
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 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 Kafr ad Dik lands for the benefit of:
Colonies devoured 1225 dunums, and they are:
