“I contacted the Palestinian cooperation office and they replied quoting from the Israeli side “This is a temporal military point was installed to remove “Tipuah” outpost , 2 kilometers west of the location.””

Ma’ali asserted that he was worried that the Occupation forces will locate on Jabal Sbaih. Noteworthy, the 60 days deadline of demolition military orders of facilities and houses in Beita town is close to an end, Ma’ali is worried that the occupation forces will implant a demolition campaign.

In 1984 the Israeli forces installed a checkpoint on the same location to observe Trans-Samaria highway, which caused the restriction of farmers’ movement, this situation carried on until 1995 when the occupation removed the outpost.
