23 January 2022
On 23 January 2022, farmers arrived at their land east of the village and were surprised to discover that settlers had already plowed it. The settlers, who were there at the time, summoned soldiers who arrived in four military jeeps and fired tear gas canisters at the farmers and at other residents who came to defend them. Several residents were injured by gas inhalation. The soldiers arrested one of the young men on the pretext he had assaulted settlers, and he was released 20 days later after depositing bail.
