And I can't find khirbet Umm al-Gimel on a map.

There's enough to be outraged, but not enough to understand.

How long have they been there?

Are they squatting on already owned property?

Is it a restricted zone?

I assume that by destroying the pit it would block the spring. How did they find the spring in the first place? What feeds the spring?
