On the morning of Saturday, 28 November, Palestinians from At-Tuwani and Yatta successfully plowed their fields in Khoruba valley and Mashakha valley, as well as fields on the property of Hajj Hussein Daoud.  These fields lie southeast of Havot Ma'on, an Israeli settlement outpost that in 2006 was designated for evacuation.  Settlers had plowed some of these fields on 5 November when, according to Palestinian shepherds, the Israeli military was present and permitted the plowing to happen.  Palestinians of nearby communities expressed concern, seeing this as another attempt by settlers to steal their land.
