The lands of Jamroura is located 23 kms. to the west of Hebron. It borders on the lands of Sanabreh from the west, the lands of Tarqumia and Beit Kahel from the east, Beit Ola from the north, and Idna from the south.

Jamroura is considered as the end beginning of the western Hebron mountainous range, and the beginning of the Palestinian Coastal Plain. These lands are situated within the natural plots 2,3,4,5 according to the map with a drawing measurement 1/10,000, longitude 102-116 and latitude 146-148, and they bear several names: Marj Qassa ( Meadow/ Pasturage of Qassa); Ruweisat; Shi'ib Azzam (Azzam Pass); Akfar; An-Nijma;Al-Khab; Abu 'Umeira Orchards; Thera' Al-'bd;Khalet Mikhmas;and Khalet Al-Khemeh. The total area of these lands are approximately 2019 dunums.

Introduction To Ownership:- The lands of Jamroura are owned by the people of Taffouh without exception. They have been inherited generation after generation since the Ottoman Epoch, definitely in November 1890. They are registered on 28 land documents in the names of 28 persons from Taffouh at the Ottoman Official Departments in accordance to the Turkish sources and the Turkish Archive. The documents were ratified by the Turkish Ministry of Affairs and also by the Palestinian Embassy in Turkey. Besides, the people of Taffouh possess official and legal land certificates (Taboo) from the Palestinian Departments, as well as tax documents.

Taffouh, as the other Palestinian towns, cities and villages has exposed to confiscation and expropriation by the Israeli occupation . These confiscated lands of Taffouh are situated 23 kms. to the west of Hebron.

The people of Taffouh have achieved a successful triumph over the Israeli programs aimed at the confiscation and expropriation of the Palestinian lands in Taffouh. We were able to drive away the occupation and adjust the track of the dividing discriminating wall away from our lands by the means of our own possibilities without receiving any support or financial subsidy from any authority. We resisted occupation and struggled it legally and in mass media until we have achieved the real victory at last. We have got a verdict from the court that canceled the confiscation resolution of our lands in the area of Jamroura. Thus, the people of Taffouh gives another model of steadfastness and confrontation against the programs of the Palestinian land confiscation, and against the occupation attempts aiming at Judaization and this old-new model can be used as a good example to stick with our own birthplaces, and to seize firmly our land and our national rights.

From here we raise the voice loudly and publish the praises of the citizens' efforts who contribute to the development march by paying back all the costs and expenditures relating to the issue, and which exceeds (JD200,000). In addition, we highly appreciate the role of security apparatuses, especially the roles of legal department of the preventive security forces and the national security forces. We also appreciate the efforts done by the region leader and everyone who contribute to supporting this issue.

As it is well-known, the occupation forces have greeds and interests in these lands as in the remaining Palestinian lands. The suffering starts in the nineteenth decade (1990s) when the Israeli occupation forces established the old Tarqumia barrier on a piece of land related to the town in the area of Ruweisat, and which is now known as Tarqumia crossing . About (150) dunums were expropriated and confiscated from their owners by the Absentees Property Custody Department. This expropriation is considered as confiscation.

Moreover, the Israeli occupation did not feel relieved or get calmed down. On 15/9/2005, they established the dividing wall in the area of Shi'b al-Bahr to control over and usurp this area for we were not being able to get it back by prosecuting at military courts.

Since that date, the people of the town has established Jamroura's Defense Committee in 1991with consensus of all social spectrums of town's people, who agreed upon that the Jamroura lands are for all and must be defended by all. An agreement has been done with town's people to commit to the whole expenses on their own personal account without any exception.

After 20 years of prosecution and suing at the Israeli courts and submitting the required papers such as land deeds, limitations of succession, ownership certificates, tax documents in the days of the Ottoman State and after the elaborate and comprehensive investigation by the Israeli Objection Committee in the issue No.(2087/1993), we obtained a resolution of lifting confiscation from all lands of Jamroura on 23/1/2009. The resolution has been endorsed on 6/4/2009,. It should be known that the confiscation orders were declared on 1/9/1983 according to military issued by the Objection Committee, bearing No.(2/m/1) , and another confiscation order declared on 9/1/1991, bearing No. (1/1991) . These two declarations were joined to each other in the objection file No.(79/1991) and file No. (100/1991. For more information, please contact: mohammad@taffouh.org .
