Bedouin families in the West Bank village of Ras Ein al-Auja are being forced to abandon their homes due to escalating violence and harassment from Israeli settlers. The community, already vulnerable because of limited law enforcement, has seen about half of its 130 families flee in recent months, with many dismantling their homes and livestock pens. Settlers have diverted vital water sources and brought their own herds to compete for grazing land, intensifying the pressure on Bedouin herders. Local residents say they face arrest if they attempt to defend their property, leaving them with little recourse. Despite increased military presence and new monitoring technology, Bedouins fear further displacement and the loss of their traditional way of life.
