following the demolition

Bedouins of  Fasayel Al-Wousta descend from ‘Arab Az-Zayed , Al-Kharbish , and Al-‘Ebeyat , they were displaced in 1948 especially from Be’er Sheva area , and now they live in south Hebron and in many spots around the Jordan Valley.

Fasayil is 23 km north of Jericho and its built-up area is 147 dunums only ( Fasayil village council). This area does not meet the natural increase of population. More than 30 residences and barracks were demolished as a result. It has a population of 1132 (according to Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics in 2010). It is surrounded by a number of illegal Israeli colonies that limit the expansion of the village and deprive its inhabitants from having a normal life.

From the north, Fasayil is surrounded by colonies of Yafit and Pezael (Fezael), Tomer and Gilgal and Netiv Hagedud from the south in addition to a bypass that links the northern colonies with the southern ones.
