Ska village faces settler growth
The article addresses the escalation of settlement expansion in the village of Sika, located west of Dura in Hebron, the West Bank. Since 2023, a settler known as "Hagai" has been gradually taking control of approximately 1,500 dunams of land. This takeover has resulted in preventing landowners from accessing and cultivating their lands, in addition to the settler planting parts of it himself during the current agricultural season. Palestinian residents face repeated assaults, including being barred from reaching their lands—especially their olive trees—as settlement expansions increase in the area. These expansions include the construction of new settlements, outposts, and roads connecting them, which restrict the ability of residents to protect their lands and threaten their sources of income. The region is experiencing growing settlement pressure aimed at asserting control over large areas and converting them into zones inaccessible to Palestinians. This escalation underscores the importance and the consequences of the Palestinians losing their land rights, as ongoing expansions reflect an increasing strategy to undermine their presence and expand settlement dominance at the expense of agricultural lands and resources.
