Morning

Sunday, congestion at the Meitar crossing, army vehicles scattered along the fence, preventing passage through loopholes in the fence ....

We drove near Asael, the illegal settlement , which is growing, the prefabricated buildings which before stood on columns and now there is building around the colums and so there is a closureinfo-icon and they have added a floor !!!.

We drove to Umm Fukara. We met Fadel who told us that an hour before we arrived, he was grazing with the sheep, in his territories, near Mitzpe Abigail.  A woman settler came out to him from there and shouted at him and cursed and ordered the army to drive  him away, that came and told Fadel that it was state territory. They started expelling the sheep and Fadel who was afraid they would beat him, fled.

Near Mitzpe Abigail, there is a new settler, on a "new" hill and he has about 60 sheep ..... apparently came from Susiya, brought sheep, set up a tent in the area of the Jibril family.

The new method of the settlers works and passes easily .... Law? Anything?

About 20 Umm Fukara children, of different ages, walk to school, about half an hour, to A-Tuwani. The settlers do not harass them, and the army does not roam the village.

Settlers pass through the village on their way between Mitzpe Abigail and Maon Farm, usually no problems, but they pass with dogs and it scares the people and children.

Intimidation routine ....
