Located 33 kilometers to the north of Jericho, Al Jiftlik has a population of some 5,500, who predominantly depend on agriculture and livestock for their main source of livelihood. The village occupies a total area of 185,032 dunums. The Israeli occupation authorities maintain full control over the village, classified as Area C, and has allowed the villagers to build within a small pocket of 972 dunums, which accounts for 0.5 percent of the total village area. Israel has severely restricted Palestinian access to water in the area, particularly the 23 underground wells used for agriculture. Local water springs are susceptible to dryness and depletion as a result of Israel’s control over water. In January 2023, Israel had already seized at least some 6,750 dunams belonging to the village for the construction of seven nearby colonial settlements, 4,550 dunums for the construction of a military base, besides to more land for opening settler-only by-pass Roads No. 90, 50, 505 and 508, and constructing colonial outposts, pushing the villagers into a crowded enclave, a ghetto, surrounded by walls, settlements and military installations.

"While drama was unfolding in the Knesset yesterday, far away, in Adamit Park near the Lebanese border, activists from the "Uri Zafon" movement gathered for a conference to "pass the torch" from veterans of Homa and Migdal to "settlers of the renewed Lebanon region."

At some point, the officer who arrived at the scene got quite fed up, he announced a closed military area, and asked everyone to leave the place The pictures don't convey how cold it was, but the Lebanese settlement activists did not give up, and continued their journey to the Hanita Forest, to locate a wall and a tower. The children quickly occupied the tower that had been expropriated from a wall and a tower in favor of slogans for settlement in Lebanon, a guitar was quickly pulled out, and the ceremony began with the lighting of Hanukkah candles in menorahs made from tin cans The Chanukah songs were also replaced quite quickly by other songs and other dances. After them began the "torch passing ceremony." As I recall, there were no real veterans of the Wall and Tower, but there was a guy who said he grew up in Hanita, and apparently has since converted. He declared that he was "receiving this torch from the founders." The guy announced that "with God's help, we are continuing the settlement... even better, and expanding the Galilee. We will restore Atara to its former glory!" He declared, and burst into song and dance - "The land is very, very good." Near the settlement merchandise stand, a guy walked around with a sheet of paper with a QR code on it that leads to the registration forms for the nuclei. Still.
