Description:
Sunday , August 2019 , The Israeli occupation forces set up a metal gate close to the military watch point on the northern entrance of Kafr Ne’ama north Ramallah.
Reportedly, the closed road links Kafr Ne’ama to Aj-Janiya and Ras Karkar north , it is also a way for citizens to “Wad Al-Delb” and “ Al-Risan mount”.
Citizen Fakhri Hamayel told LRC reporter:
“ The targeted road is taken daily by farmers towards their agricultural lands , it is also vital for contact with the northern suburbs of Ramallah , in case the gate was closed , citizens will have to take longer roads to reach their destinations (about 5 km longer).”
Nazih Karkar from the village says “ the new plan is disastrous and aims to tighten citizens and farmers movement , especially those who own plots in “Al-Risan mount” , early 2019 the occupation forces put similar gates in Kharabtha Bani Harith , Ras Karkar villages, the same situation is repeating itself in Kafr Ne’ama . Thus, the occupation aims to tighten up the siege around the villages and prohibit any new activities or projects in Al-Risan mount.
Such resolutions of the civil administration, are taken after pressure by Racist colonial institutions that encourages and supports colonial expansion in the West Bank.
Al-Risan mount area belongs to several farmers from Ras Karkar , Kharabtha Bani Harith and Kafar Ne’ama, late last year the Israeli Occupation confiscate several plots in synchronization with several colonial activities , such as opening an agricultural road and establishing a military tower.
