Kafr Qadum, Qalqiliyah District: Settler harvest 32 trees and steal the crop

On Monday, 2 November 2020, the Barham family arrived at their olive grove that stretches over 23 dunams [1 dunam = 1,000 sq. meters]. The neighborhood of Mitzpe Yishay, which belongs to the settlement of Kedumim (built on village land in 1975), was established near the grove.

Due to the proximity to the settlement, the military permits the family to access their grove only on days coordinated by the Israeli DCO. This year, the military decided they could access their land from 2 to 9 November 2020. When they reached the grove, the family discovered that settlers had already harvested 32 out of 230 olive trees and fled with the stolen fruit.
