Bringing us in seems to have worked, at least for the time being: we spent a few hours on the farm (and took advantage of being there to lend a hand to the farmers) and didn't face attack from either settlers or army.
The harvest was destroyed (as expected from 3 weeks without irrigation in the middle of summer). Now, farmers are hoping that the Israeli army will simply let them be. This won't last forever—until the next time settlers target Burin with the support in the Israeli army.
