ISRAEL CLOSES DAIRY THAT SUPPORTS ORPHANAGE
On this day in 2014, the Israeli military demolished a dairy in Northern Hebron that had provided a sustainable source of revenue for two orphanages run by the Islamic Charitable Society, as well as aiding ten different schools in the area. Two months earlier Israeli authorities had confiscated most of the Al Rayyan Dairy Factory’s machinery in Northern Hebron, which supplied products like yogurt, milk and cheese to the organizations and families it benefits. The Israeli military said the dairy was “associated with terrorism”.
إسرائيل تغلق مصنع الألبان الذي يدعم الأيتام

في مثل هذا اليوم من عام 2014، هدم جيش الاحتلال الإسرائيلي مصنع ألبان في شمال الخليل والذي وفر مصدرًا مستمرا للإيرادات لاثنين من دور الأيتام آلتي تدار من قبل الجمعية الخيرية الإسلامية، فضلا عن مساعدة عشر مدارس مختلفة في المنطقة. قبل شهرين صادرت السلطات الإسرائيلية معظم آلات مصنع الريان للألبان في شمال الخليل الذي ينتج اللبن والحليب والجبن للمؤسسات والعائلات المستفيدة. قال جيش الاحتلال الإسرائيلي إن مصنع الألبان "له علاقة بالإرهاب".
Yesterday, 300 orphans staged a protest following the demolition of Al-Rayyan Dairy Factory, north of Hebron, which occurred in the early hours of 1st September 2014. The future of the children remains unclear as the two orphanages they live in, the Hebron Charity House for Girls and The Hebron Charity House for Boys, are dependent on the profits made by the dairy factory. Both the orphanages and the dairy factory are owned by the Islamic Charitable Society.
The dairy factory, which housed 150 cows and produced six tones of milk products, such as yogurt and cheese, had run for 24 years, ever since the Islamic Charitable Society received funding from the Kuwait government in 1991 to set up the factory. The purpose was for the Society’s orphanages and schools to have their own source of regular income, rather than relying on donations. The dairy products were distributed to Hebron and the surrounding villages.
