Title:#15 Avi, the land was expropriated from the Da`ana family
Name:Ben Alofs
City: Hebron/el-KhalilState: Palestine
Avi, read carefully. The land on which Federman built his illegally illegal `outpost`, belongs to the Da`ana family. His demolished building is on an extension of the land which was expropriated from Da`ana for the building of the Givat Hashima colony, which is itself an outpost of Kiryat Arba and now connected to it by a large stretch of Palestinian land with a tarmac road on it.
The colonists continue to steal land, using the salami approach. Their response to the demolishing of the Federman building is by tearing down the fence of Givat Hashima, which runs right behind Mr Da`ana`s house, in a bid to terrorize the extended family of 16 persons from its farming land which is used for the cultivation of grapes/raisins and other fruits.
