In the mean time another group right wing Jewish extremists took over land that belong to farmers from Yatta village near Hebron city, the settlers installed tents near an Israeli army post on those confiscated lands by the army.

The farmers fear that illegal settlement post become a full established settlement which means that farmers from Yatta village will lose a massive portion of their lands.
