Noteworthy, the occupation authorities carried out a similar demolition operation in June 27th 2022 , where they raided the area and demolished farmers’ pergolas.
The occupation authorities claim that framers built these structures and facilities on state lands , while farmers confirm they own the land which is proved with ownership papers.
The Israeli occupation wants to confiscate these lands , as their location is between Telem and Adora colonies, and are seen as a potential for future expansion.
