Noteworthy, the vineyard is close to “Efrat” settlement , the occupation claims that the Kiosks threat security of the settlement , but the real intention is to prohibit Palestinians from construction to keep the area as a colonial reserve.
Al-Khader is a hotspot for Israeli human rights violations , the occupation is taking advantage of the corona lockdown and closure of most human rights institutions to carry out demolitions and intensify land grabs.
Many of Al-Khader people depend mainly on agriculture as a main source of income , and agriculture is counted as a keystone in economical development in the village. But unfortunately, the Israeli Occupation is in many ways constantly targeting the Palestinian agricultural sector.
