On 2 February 2013 a group of activists created Al Manatir, a Palestinian protest village in the land of Burin. Palestinians and solidarity activists built up tents and huts in order to maintain Palestinian presence on their land which is under the threat of confiscation for the continued Israeli settlement expansion. Shortly after the tents were established, settlers from a nearby settlement showed up. The army prevented them from going in Al Manatir but not from throwing rocks at the protesters. After some hours of excessive sound grenades, tear gas and pepper spray use, several arrests and injuries the army took control of the village while settlers demolished it.
