The Olive Tree Movement

Last Friday we gathered about 20 volunteers and activist to work in the land of the Jaabri family who resides in Hebron opposite the west gate of Kiryat Arba.

WE planed to work with the family to work the soil and clear the area for planting.

A group of settlers gathered in Jaabri's land illegally and started camping on the ground while confronting the workers verbally and by throwing stones (mainly the children), See the pictures in the Hebrew text.

The police did not really take any action to clear the tress passing, but tried to keep some kind of separation between the groups.

Few people including Issa where lightly hurt, but the work went on step by step and the workers managed to clear two terraces.

Some tools were stolen and we need to replace them by new ones. Any contribution of tools or money is welcome.

Complaints were forwarded to the police with all the documentations.
