It explained that these attacks are part of a series of repeated violations against the residents and their lands in the area.

The organization noted that the residents of Susiya village are subjected to daily attacks and repeated assaults by settlers directly supported by the occupation army, which increases the suffering of the residents and threatens their existence on their lands.
It indicated that these attacks are part of a systematic policy aimed at displacing the population and threatening security and stability in the region, holding the occupation fully responsible for these violations.
In this context, settlers released their livestock on land planted with fruit trees owned by the Al-Amour family in the Khirbet al-Rakeez area of Masafer Yatta.
The organization noted that this behavior constitutes a direct assault on the residents' property and causes significant damage to the agricultural crops on which the family relies as its primary source of income.
It stated that releasing livestock into cultivated land leads to the destruction of fruit trees and significant financial losses, negatively impacting the families' livelihoods.
It is worth noting that the Al-Amur family relies primarily on agriculture as their primary source of livelihood. The fruit trees that spread across vast areas of their land constitute a sustainable source of income that helps them meet their daily needs and improve their standard of living.
The family has been subjected to several similar attacks in the past period, negatively impacting their agricultural production, increasing the economic and social burdens they face.
Al-Baidar Organization stated that the continuation of these attacks not only threatens the family's lands and farms, but also directly impacts the social and economic stability of the region, increasing the vulnerability of families and limiting opportunities for local development.
