At around 12.30 p.m. four Operation Dove volunteers were accompanying a palestinian man while he was crossing Humra valley going towards At-Tuwan villagei. Suddenly two young settlers masked came out from Havat ma’on outpost and attacked the four volunteers and the palestinian man with slingshots until they reached a safe place, then they returned back and tried to damage an olive tree that belong to a palestinian family. After that, they returned inside the outpost.

At around 4.00 p.m. four Operation Dove volunteers were accompanying the same palestinian man while he was returning back home, crossing Humra valley in the direction of his village. When all of them arrived on Kharrouba hill, two masked settlers came out from Havat ma’on and tried to attack the group. The internationals distracted the attention of the settlers towards them, thus the palestinian went home without problems. One settler launched some stones towards the volunteers, the other one ran after them with a stick.

In the morning of 3rd July two Operation Dove volunteers found these writings on a Palestinian well in Humra Valley, next to Havat Ma’on Israeli outpost.
The writings say: “Mavet laaravim – Kahane tsadak”, which mean “Death to the Arabs, Kahane was right”. Martin David Kahane, also known as Meir Kahane, was the leader of the Israeli terrorist and anti-arab organisation Kach.
On the 27th June, settlers from Havat Ma’on outpost came out several times and took a bath in this well.
On the same day a Palestinian shepherd found a sticker on the same place, saying: “We want a Jewish state”.
The well of Humra is the only one with a high level of water, this is due to the fact that the Palestinians are afraid of using it because of the violence of the settlers.

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A tiny village of Palestinian families in the southern West Bank has had an unwelcome visitor in recent months.

“He comes with small weapons and his camera, sometimes with armed forces, sometimes with settlers,” Susiya resident Nasser Nawaja says.

The armed visitor is Ovad Arad, the Judea and Samaria Director of Regavim, an Israeli non-governmental organization.

Arad’s job is to roam the West Bank photographing Palestinian buildings for the group’s legal petitions, which demand the Israeli government expedite their demolitions.

Susiya, a hamlet of 350 people, including 120 children, is now at immediate risk of forced displacement as a result of Regavim’s petition, the United Nations humanitarian affairs office says.
