The crowds were mainly derived from young men but also included farmers hoping to once more farm lands in the stream zone. Speaking by phone from your buffer zone, 19-year-old Ali Abu Taimah said he and his father were checking three acres of family land which are fallow for several years. "When we visit our land, we are telling the occupation (Israel) that any of us are not afraid at all, " he said.
