About Um AL-Kheir:

It should be marked that the hamlet of Um AL-Kheir — inhabited by AL-Hadhaleen family–  is located nearby Karmel colony, which is founded on confiscated lands from the area. The Israeli occupation has been working hard to displace people through serving demolition and stop-work orders on the area's residents and their properties. Not only, colonists  are reported to carry out various attacks to push people out of the area to take it over for the sake of colonial expansion.

Colonial groups such like " Reghafim" incite the so-called Israel Civil Administration to target Palestinian structures and quicken the process of demolishing structures served with military order. Such group is active in the areas of West Bank.
