The fence of Maskiyot settlement, with its light poles, is now below a huge sign reading “Maskiyot". The suspicion that they’re preparing for a new stage of construction seems to be coming true.

Al Auja the spring which until ten years ago flowed abundantly and provided water via channels to the town of Al Auja, the surrounding localities and the Dead Sea (1/3 to each destination). Rusted dams, blocked channels, and the famous water slide are all ruined, because Israel erected three giant pumping stations nearby and another one higher up the hill, and diverted all the water to the settlements.

Well, to have called this a 'house' would have been a bit of an overstatement. At 9 AM a military bulldozer arrived at the middle of an encampment consisting of five structures and demolished the sheep she. , Now the sheep lie exposed in the scorching sun. The woman complains that her family hardly has any food as it is, and now this… The son, who speaks Hebrew, tells us that less than a month ago, on September 20th, agents of the Civil Administration of the Occupation arrived and handed them a demolition order for the large tent that stood where now the sheep shed had been. The family dismantled the tent in view of the officials and left only the small sheep shed intact. But the officer told them, as the son says: “We don’t care – we only want you to go away!” (MW report October 6.2011)

Palestinians tell us that tanks cross this point often and one of them has broken/twisted the metal gate. It now remains open to enable tank passage. Until two weeks ago “security needs” prevented Palestinians of the Jordan Valley from traveling to the center of their daily lives in the West Bank hills, except for specific days and hours.....So what has changed? How is it suddenly possible for them to cross without inspection? .......(MW report October 6.2011)

On Alon Road Route 508 between Gitit Settlement and Hamra CP we saw three Palestinians detained by the IDF. A military camera located on top of a hill caught them picking "Akub" (Gundelia Tournefortii) which is a protected plant. The soldiers told us that this is a "terrorist attack". They were detained for two and a half hours and then were taken by the army, even thought one of the men suffered from an asthma attack.
