The image shows a young Palestinian girl named Shama Adel Hamamdeh standing up to an Israeli settler who drove an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) into the courtyard of her family's home in Hawara, Masafer Yatta, in the southern occupied West Bank. Withe the help of his grand-father, she confront a settler standing atop an ATV vehicle on her family's land. The incident occurred in late September 2026 when a settler entered the family's property. During the confrontation, the child defied the individual and voiced her family's refusal to leave their land, stating that they would rebuild if any structures were demolished.
On May 24, 2025: According to Masafering: "Last night settlers invaded agricultural land called Huwara, near the village of Al-Deirat, located east of Yatta. They cut down more than 100 olive trees, destroyed many agricultural fences, broke the cover of a water cistern, and fled. The extensive damage to the olive trees and fences comes at a time when Shimon Atiya and youths from his outpost invade these vineyards on a daily basis with their flocks."
On Augustus 19, 2025: A new settler outpost was established in Hawara, near Dirat, on private Palestinian land with open support from the occupation authorities. Shimon Atiya brought furniture, water tanks, and other equipment to the site. Issachar Man and employees of the Mount Hebron Council also participated in the construction. Settlers drilled holes in the fence of a nearby Palestinian house and placed Israeli flags. Residents fear the outpost will block access to their farmland and that Atiya and his group will terrorize them in their homes.
On July 7, 2026, Israeli settlers and Israeli forces raided the village of Huwarah in Masafer Yatta. The residents were brutally assaulted after settlers raided Palestinian-owned land. Eight Palestinians were reportedly injured, and two others were arrested
