Four farms recently built in the Bank with 20,000 dunams

In the last five years, the Hebrew newspaper "Ha'aretz" reported that settlers had established four farms on the territory of the West Bank.

The newspaper said that the farms' area is bigger than the land of Lud and that the settlers take control over 20 000 dunums of those lands, and prevented the Palestinians from reaching those lands.

According to the newspaper, the largest farms are called the Uri Farm in the Northern Region, which was built in 2016, where the army and settlers are blocking access by Palestinians to land adjacent to them for up to 14,000 dunams.

The Tzvi Bar farm near the settlement of Halmesh, north of Ramallah, is second, which was built 3 years ago.

The third settlement farm is located near the town of Al-Simeem, south of Hebron, during which the settlers took control of 1,800 dunums of land from the nearby village of Znuta. A settlement farm was established in 2020 east of Yatta, Hebron, and controlled 1,500 dunams belonging to the villages of the area.

The newspaper confirmed that the information currently available concerns 4 settlement farms, while 50 similar farms have been built during the last decade, and 150 since the 1990s.
