Farmer Mohammed Rabe’a told LRC:
“About seven years ago, I went back to my home town of Turmus’ayya after years in the United States. I’ve decided to start taking care of my plot through cultivating it, in order to protect it from colonialism. But since the establishment of a new random outpost in Turmus’ayya lands two years ago, we’ve been suffering from colonists’ assaults and Israeli non-stop military orders, and the result was prohibiting us from accessing our lands in order to empty the area and keep it as a reserve for future colonial expansion.”
