16 May 2020
On Saturday, 16 May 2020, at around noon, Civil Administration personnel arrived with a military jeep at the community of Khirbet Lasefar in the South Hebron Hills. They confiscated a truck that had come to the community to deliver tin panels and metal posts for construction. The cargo was taken along with the truck, which was driven towards Beersheba. The Lasefar community is home to twelve families with a total of about 110 members, including 40 children. It is not hooked up to the water grid and its only power supply comes from a solar system constructed in 2011 and maintained by NGO COMET-ME with funding from the European Union and member states. The community’s children go to school in the nearby community of Khirbet Emneizal and have to walk four kilometers to school and back, every day.
