Khursa - the diwan is still unreachable

On Route 60, on the other side of the road in front of the settlement Shima’, Havat Yehuda (?) is growing and developing, another caravan and another building with a huge Israeli flag waving in the wind.

We went to Khursa, the old settlement "stuck" to the settlers of Negohot A and B and to the authorities like a bone in the throat, apparently, and that's why about 5 years ago the army built a pillbox in the heart of the village, next to the diwan, to monitor the road to the settlements and to the lone settler Hagai Nissim.

T. from Khursa says that a week ago they added a barbed wire fence to this orange barrier. It is not clear what the benefit might be. Maybe preventing children from throwing stones, he says.

The neighbour next to the checkpoint tells about night patrols by soldiers around the houses close to Pillbox all the time.

The diwan is still inside the area closed to the residents and despite their request to remove it and fence off only the pillbox so that they can use it according to their needs without asking permission from the army every time. A reminder: a diwan is actually the meeting place where they gather for the needs of joy and mourning. They promised a long time ago that they would do so, but it is still out of their scope. His proximity to Pillbox is considered dangerous by the Israel Defense Forces.

In Negohot A 58 new houses are being built right abovethe Jadallah family in Fuqeiqis. In front of the path going down to their house, on the other side of the road, earth embankments were poured to probably protect Hagai Nissim, the lone settler.

He himself continues to provoke his herd and enters the territory of the village of Sika near Beit Awa.

In Negohot B you see infrastructure ready for expansion and the construction.

The closest photos I dared to take without finding myself confronting the security guards who immediately jump up and roar through the loudspeakers if it seems to them that we have invaded their area.
