Theeba Al-Sabaa, a 56-year-old Palestinian farmer from Beit Ummar, a village located north of Hebron, spends much of her time defending her family’s vineyards from encroaching settlers. The area, known as "Jabal Sabaa," has long been a source of livelihood for her family, with generations cultivating the land for its grapes and other produce. However, since mid-2024, the situation has grown more challenging with the increasing presence of Israeli settlers in the surrounding hills. The settlers have begun to encroach on Theeba’s land in various ways, including releasing livestock onto her cultivated plots. These actions have caused significant damage to her crops, forcing her to spend extra time and resources repairing the harm. Theeba has tried to address the issue by speaking with local authorities, but she says the response has been minimal, offering little support or intervention. Despite the mounting difficulties, Theeba remains resolute in her decision to stay and protect her land. The vineyards are not just a source of income but also a deep connection to her heritage and home. “I will not leave. This land is my home, and I will fight to keep it,” she said, expressing her determination to resist the encroachment. The situation in Beit Ummar reflects a broader issue faced by many Palestinians in the West Bank, where tensions over land use and ownership often escalate due to the presence of Israeli settlers. For Theeba, the struggle is deeply personal, rooted in the desire to preserve her family’s legacy and way of life.
