The farmer, Abdul Qader Ibrahim Muhammad Hussein Hajj Muhammad, told the Land Research Center’s field researcher the following:
“The targeted land belongs to my father and was previously planted with wheat, which was a source of income for our family, but because of the lack of water and that we are prevented by the occupation army, we did not cultivate the land for many years, but we decided to re-cultivate the it three years ago, and today we are surprised by what the occupation has done of emptying the land and controlling it”.
