Jaba’-Sanur

FORMER MILITARY CAMP - EVAQUATED IN 2006

jaba-sanur_map.png

This former military camp is located between the villages of Jaba’ and Sanur, in the Jenin district; the owners of the land are people from both villages. The camp extends on both sides of the major road between the two villages. While the camp has been evacuated for many years, the Israeli army still visits the site on a regular basis. They set up checkpoints and harass villagers. Unlike Oush Grab, when they evacuated, the Israelis destroyed all the buildings in the camp, leaving huge piles of rubble. This presents a challenge for any public reuse. Landowners say they haven’t touched their land since the army left because they don’t have the money to repair the damage. Some people have begun minimal cultivation on the edges of the camp, and shepherds have set up tents in the former shooting range.
