Under Siege

Kufur Malik has been under Israeli occupation since 1967. Many people from this small town have been killed by the occupation forces during the first and second Intifada, many more were injured and hundreds were arrested. Still, with all the operation they suffer for so many years the people of Kufr Malik are always warm and happy to meet new people. They love to explore the world around them. They like to enjoy hiking the surrounding mountains or going into excursions to the country side, visit the water springs, grill meat on wood fire while camping and relaxing! This is breaking the siege of the surrounding illegal Jews settlements on their land and the hazard of the military bases and checkpoints.
