Tuesday, Sept 1
Joanne Kaufman and Dianne Roe visited with a family in Beit Ummar whose
application for rescinding their home's demolition order was rejected in
July. The father said that he doesn't want to think about the demolition order
anymore. Amal, the mother's, name means hope. Kaufman commented that we hope
that the house will remain standing. Amal replied, "Hope is tired."

Kaufman and Roe also visited two people shot by soldiers during the recent
closure. The mother of seven children was shot in the leg, fracturing the
bone, while getting sugar for her family. A 12-year-old boy also took a
bullet in the upper leg.

Wednesday, Sept 2
Abdel Hadi Hantash of the Land Defense Committee
reported that settlers prevented a farmer north of Hebron from working the
land he is attempting to reclaim.

Thursday, Sept 3
Kaufman, reservist Eric Graham and an Italian visitor accompanied Hantash on a
visit to a family near Yatta, in
southwest Hebron district. The family's tent home was bulldozed and burned on
August 17, the same day Ata Jabber's home in the Baqa'a Valley was bulldozed.
They also visited the Jabber family in the Beqa'a Valley. Soldiers had
confiscated irrigation pipes and severed water lines early that morning.

Friday, Sept 4
Anne Montgomery arrived.

Kaufman, accompanied by Jan Siemens from the U.S. and a translator, visited
the Abdel Muhsen Abu Sneineh family. Although the demolition order on their
house has been lifted, they still are at risk since their house does not
officially have a permit.
