Settlement for confiscation by settler herders and we must not approach them or object to overgrazing of crops. These animals have security protection from the occupation army and they have protection from settler herds, and they are demobilized and fun without sergeant or compute, this is the new settlement that borders its cows, sheep and horses. And the Palestinian is watching her movement with sorrow and pain. "

After confiscating the land, building on it, and putting in the security fences, their eyes became on the lands outside the security fences, as they are their new target, and a prelude to controlling them unleashes horses, cows, and sheep as an introduction. They become under their control and the lands in which they graze are estimated at five thousand acres, which are located behind the wall and another outside the wall, and the owners of animals from the settlers receive all support from the Settlement Council on these settlement initiatives, and the Palestinian farms remain trapped in the wall and the availability of settler animals, so the occupation and the settlers continue to besiege the Palestinians in their lands And their gatherings.
