Since the building of the line of separation, all the lands of his family are on the Israeli side of the fence; 550 dunums (approx. 137 acres) of fruit trees, olive trees, greenhouses, pasture land for his livestock, and water sources. He has not been able to go to his land for almost two weeks due to closure by the military authorities. He believes that he has lost his total investment in this years crops.
