" Israel published an announcement in newspapers on July 25 notifying Palestinian landowners about the new construction. Palestinian land would be confiscated for the purpose of building 40 Israeli settlement houses. Ali added that the Palestinian land owners tried repeatedly to access their land in order to tend them, and collect their olive crops, but Israeli settlers "protected by occupation forces prevented them." "Since the beginning of the year 2000, we have been denied access to our lands. We have been assaulted several times, and we were fired at directly to prevent us from reaching our lands, but we insist that we will remain on our land and never leave them," landowner Hajj Dawood al-Tinih told Ma’an.
