Residents of the Maghar al-Deir community are forcibly displaced under the pressure of settler attacks.

Palestinian families in the Maghayer al-Deir community, located between the towns of Deir Dibwan and Mikhmas, east of Ramallah, were forced to dismantle their homes and forcibly leave the community, under the pressure of settler attacks in the area, carried out under the protection and cover of Israeli occupation forces.

The Al-Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights said in a statement on Thursday that residents of the Maghayer al-Deir area, east of Ramallah, began dismantling their homes this morning in order to leave the community. This comes after settlers escalated their attacks on the area, closing pastures, storming homes and violating their sanctity, assaulting women and children, seizing agricultural vehicles and tractors, stealing livestock, and establishing a pastoral colonial outpost among the homes within the community.

She added that all Palestinian families in the community have begun evacuating the area and will leave their homes and move to a safer location due to the escalating settler violations against them. She explained that the forced migration of families from the community began months ago.

Several days ago, settlers seized a sheep pen belonging to a family from the Arab al-Malihat tribe in the Maghayer al-Deir area. They then set up a tent and metal fence around the pen, and brought a group of livestock into the pen.

The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission monitored attempts by settlers to establish 10 new outposts during the month of April, predominantly agricultural and pastoral. These outposts were distributed as follows: three outposts were attempted on lands in the Ramallah Governorate, two outposts in the Salfit Governorate, and others in Jericho, Hebron, Tubas, and Nablus.
