Twenty Palestinian families from the Az-Zayed clan, a Bedouin community in the occupied West Bank and Jordan Valley, have been forced to abandon their homes in Shallal Al-Auja near Jericho. According to the Al-Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights, these families left after repeated attacks and threats from Israeli settlers, as well as restricted access to essential resources like water and land. The community has faced increasing violence, including property vandalism and denial of access to pastures, which rights groups say is part of a broader effort to displace indigenous Palestinians and expand settlements. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Bedouin communities in the region, where millions of Palestinians live alongside a significant settler population.
