Tel Hai, the northernmost Jewish settlement in Galilec on the Syrian border, waas added to the list of places whose ownership is challenged by the Bedouins.

The Bedouins of the village Halsch got into a row with the Jewish pioneers of Tel Hai when the former brought their cattle for pasture into the colony’s fields. The Bedouins claimed that they are in possession of a document entitling them to “pasture everywhere.” Following a fight, the police was called out and order was issued to both parties to cease work or pasturing in the colony until the title to the land is established.
