<<"The farms sure were used for gun placements" Source(s) please.>> Squinting into the noonday sun as he surveyed his Beit Hanun fields, Fawaz al-Zanin's flickering eyes finally settled on the citrus saplings he had planted after the IDF uprooted his 45-dunam (11.25-acre) orchard from which Hamas fired Kassam rockets at Sderot.
