Today in Susiya, South Hebron hills We participated in a Palestinian village community action which involved reaching an area of their land which has been declared a closed military zone previously and dismantling a new illegal settlement outpost built by settlers. Over the past month the settler outpost has been dismantled by the Palestinians and rebuilt by settlers three times. According to Palestinians living in the area, Israeli forces have permanently stationed a military Jeep next to this outpost for surveillance and protection of the site for settlers. The illegal outpost is right next to a water well which the Palestinian rely on for daily use and livestock. Each time the Palestinians go near this piece of land the area is declared a closed military zone by Israeli forces. Palestinians from the local community and international activists successfully and peacefully dismantled the outpost and a Palestinian child also removed an Israeli flag from a military outpost nearby. Settlers were present in small numbers watching. Palestinians and the international activists were then moved on by Israeli forces after declaring it a closed military zone.
