Um al Kheir, South Hebron Hills, Palestine  On 23 April 2009 Israeli soldiers arrested a Palestinian journalist in the village of Um al Kheir and declared the village a closed military zone after settlers from the nearby settlement of Karmel resumed construction of a road on Palestinian land.  The proposed road passes within a few meters of Palestinian homes, animal enclosures, and gardens.  Due to a pending legal action in Israeli court filed by Um al Kheir villagers, settlers had previously suspended construction but resumed the work Thursday afternoon.
