For the last three months, Ta’ayush activists have been accompanying Palestinian farmers from Safa to their lands just below the settlement of Bat Ayin. Since a child from the settlement was murdered in April, settlers have been consistently attacking Palestinians when they attempt to work in their fields, as well as burning the fields themselves – all under the nose of the IDF, which has done nothing to prevent the crimes or punish them. Ta’ayush activists return to the area.

Members of the peace organization, Ta’ayush, set out to have a picnic at an illegal outpost called Givat Hadegal next to the settlement of Susya in the southern West Bank. On the way to the picnic they were stopped at the Gilo checkpoint, held for an hour for no reason and then told to go home. After arriving via a different checkpoint and beginning the picnic in protest of the outpost, three people were arrested and the group was removed from the area by a closed military zone order.

The settlers of Maon have often attacked the children and anyone with them including the CPT teams. The volunteers also intervene in a settler attack on Palestinians near the illegal outpost of Avigal.
