The sword of expulsion is once again hoisted over the heads of the herding communities in Masfar Yatta. The Israeli military regime spares no efforts in order to make the lives of residents in southern Mount Hebron unbearable. From administrative demolitions and the demolition of houses and wells to water deprivation and forced deportations, the occupation forces are trying to cleanse the region of its Palestinian residents. Along with all this, Jewish terror of the settlers, under the auspices of the IDF and the police, has become commonplace in the area.
In the face of all this, the sons and daughters of the ancient communities in Masfar Yatta cling to their lands, hoping that their historical rights will be recognized and that their deep roots, traditional way of life and unique culture will triumph over oppression and dispossession.
