To enforce this closed military zone, the Israeli army has on some days occupied the farm from 6 to 9am, the prime farming hours before it gets too hot. The army had also damaged the greenhouses’ irrigation system to make farming impossible.
On Thursday, farmers asked us (solidarity activists) to go to the farm with them, hoping that our presence would deter the settlers & army who would feel less free to mistreat the farmers and so blatantly infringe on their right to work their land.
