25 August 2022
On Wednesday morning, 17 August 2022, Civil Administration personnel arrived with a military escort and a crane truck at the al-’Awasaj farm, south of the town of al-’Auja in Jericho District. The farm was established about a year ago next to the settlement outpost of “Omer’s Farm” to protect land in the area from landgrab by settlers. The forces uprooted and confiscated dozens of olive and palm seedlings. They also dismantled and confiscated posts and a chain-link fence that surrounded an area of over 20 dunams, and a 400-meter-long water pipe. The establishment of the farm, the equipment and the trees were funded by the Jericho Cooperative Association.
