Israeli settler attacks force Palestinian Bedouin families off their land in the occupied West Bank

Israeli settler attacks in the occupied West Bank are forcing Palestinian Bedouin families off their land.

In Ras al-Auja, nearly 50 families were displaced over the weekend after decades of living there.

Residents say settlers cut electricity, attack homes and intimidate communities with impunity.

Families describe arrests by Israeli forces following settler violence, while settlers face no consequences. Surrounded by illegal outposts, communities face a choice between danger and displacement.

Around 100 Bedouin communities have been forced to leave their lands in the West Bank in the past three years. —Jan 12, 2026
