> see him arrested and driven away in an IDF jeep.
>
> Ata Jaber's entire irrigation system has been destroyed, along with  
> the possibility of a crop for this year. On Tuesday, settlers  
> entered his home (across the road from where the tour visited) and  
> trashed it. Ata was badly beaten and injured. Jeff Halper and  
> others from ICAHD went to visit him today.  They found Ata's house  
> surrounded by settlers. This morning they found that a sign had  
> been put up near Ata's house stating that that location would  
> become a new Israeli settlement called 'Vistas of Hebron'.
