Noteworthy, Palestinians from Abu Qubaita family are still living on their land behind the Annexation and Expansion Wall, that surround “Metzadot Yehuda – Beit Yatir” and pass through a crossing at the wall through special permits issued by the occupation authorities.
The Occupation heavily targets the village with demolition notices, and prohibit taking construction materials to the village, to force citizens out of their lands and Seize it for future colonialist projects.
