The Israeli Occupation Army notified a number of Palestinian farmers from Qarawet Bani Hassan village west of Salfit to evacuate vast areas of agricultural lands west of the village, in the area known to locals as Bi'r Abu Ammar (Abu 'Ammar Well) under the pretext of being classified as 'State Lands'.


Idhna area has been a target by the Israelis for years. The area covers most of the needs of the town folks in terms of fruits and vegetables and therefore the demolition will have drastic effects on the population considering the demolition of the main water tank.


When Israel declared occupied east Jerusalem as the unified & eternal Capital of the State of Israel, it had done so after realizing it will not be able to combat the demographic parity that favors the Palestinian on the long run, an issue that made Israel recognize the need to inflict new facts on the ground and ensure Jewish majority.
