HEBRON, May 10, 2009 (WAFA)- Around a dozen farmers from the village of Beit Omar near Hebron owning lands in Saffa close to the illegal Jewish colony in Bet Ayn were denied access to their fields after Israeli Occupation Forces declared the area a closed military zone, the Palestinian Solidarity Movement reported, today.
The farmers were accompanied by eight international solidarity activists and five Israeli human rights activists.
After less than ten minutes of being in the fields, farmers were ordered off their lands by Israeli soldiers and border police in four jeeps. Israeli forces showed the villagers a closed military zone order and demanded they leave the area.
As the farmers were leaving, dozens of Jewish colonizer children shouted, “death to all Arabs” in unison from the top of the hill where Bet Ayn colony is located.
