The Israeli occupation is devouring more and more lands at the Jordan valley area. Building agricultural outposts, fencing lands, and imposing closures all aim to empty the area for future colonial expansion.

Colonists’ violations in Khallet Khader are a continuation of the ongoing Israeli policy at Wad Al-Faw, Khallet Judai’a , Al-Faresiya, ‘Ein Al-Hilweh and As-Sakut.

“Khallet Khader” is part of Al-Faresiya lands , with a total area of 340 dunums that used to be planted with field crops, and was a center of agricultural activities at the area, the area is now under threats after it became surrounded by several colonies and outposts.
