It is indicated that the Bedouin communities residing in Al-Mu’arajat area are being constantly targeted by the Israeli occupation measures of stop-work, demolition, and confiscation. Evidently, over 35 families of the said communities have been previously threatened with stop-work and demolition; a total of 18 military notification of such type were reported in the area.
It is noticed that the occupation intends to put a pressure on people of the area in an eviction attempt that serves colonial expansionist plans.
Over years, the area of Al-Mu’arajat has always been known for livestock herding due to the vast and green pastural spaces and abundance of water. However, due to the firm Israeli restrictive measures, the number of residents in the area has notably dropped, rendering a big number of them to forcibly evict out of the area.
