The story began almost a year ago, on May 10, 2007, when the Israeli Army handed out Al-Aqaba village council a map in which the village boundary is set to new parameters, the map showed an Israeli plan to redraw the village�s boundary in accordance to military needs. Accordingly, some 80 % of the village lands were lost. | |

Before the closure of the village and the main road in the year 2000 it was a prosperous village in terms of trade, land and properties. Now, the village deeply suffers because of the military closure, on one hand, and the continuous attacks and aggressions on the part of Otni'el settlers from the south and Beit Hagai settlers from the north. | |

Evacuating outposts is only a publicity bubble and a Disguising plan that aim to expand existing settlements at the expense of Palestinian land in the West Bank. The so-called evacuation of 20 outpost outof 220 is a clear indication that the Israeli side is not concerned with the negotiations process. | |
