One of the victims, Harb Abu Al-Kbash, Told LRC the following:
“The Occupation forces are pushing us to evict the area permanently. Few years ago they closed off the area and announced it a closed military zone, the occupation even confiscated water reservoirs and other properties.”
Abu Al-Kbash asserted: “Every year, the occupation empties the area on the pretext of military trainings, during which they set fire to postures, or fire bullets towards reservoirs and houses, which causes massive financial losses. In addition, the military trainings leftovers caused many expulsions leaving injuries of children and sheep. The occupation forces show indifference when it comes to leftovers that caused many deficits and deaths among people of the Khirbet.”
