Farmer Kazim Haj Mohammed told LRC:
“We farmers own plots in Qaboun area , part of it have been planted for more than ten years , and the rest of it were replanted two years ago , there are other parts that are currently used as postures , and Qaboun area with its special geography was a target for Israeli colonists who built this outpost three years ago , in addition to daily assaults carried out by the Israeli occupation forces, which made this area very dangerous.
Wednesday morning June 15th 2022, when I went to my plot I was shocked with eviction military order on the pretext that the area is a state property, the notices were dated a month ago . Noting that this is our land , and we have legal papers to prove that , and we will fight for it until the last breath.”

Cutting 120 olive saplings:
Wednesday morning June 15th 2022, a massive army force accompanied by an Israeli bulldozer raided “Al-Qubon” area targeted a plot belongs to farmer Ghazi An-Na’asan , who received an eviction notice previously on the pretext that it is a state property, the occupation uprooted 120 olive saplings aging 6 years old from the farmer’s land , which was planted two years ago on 50 dunums , the occupation claims that the land is a governmental property , the forces also confiscated the plants to a nearby camp.
The affected citizen pointed out : “Two years ago I planted my farmland that I inherited from my fathers , the occupation is now imposing closure on it on the pretext of protecting colonists’ security , but I was shocked of the notices.”
Al-Qubbon area is known for its special nature, but unfortunately it is located next to the colonial road Alon , visiting Qabbun is still dangerous due to colonists continuous assaults , noting that the occupation already demolished and displaced a number of Bedouins at the location during the past two years.
