It is not the first time that these nomads' gatherings face such aggressions. In 2002, 320 people residing in the area were shocked to see Israeli dozers accompanied by the Israeli Civil Administration officers breaking into the area demolishing many simple houses that lacks the basic needs and services. They did not even give the owners the chance to clear out their luggage.


If the Israeli Municipality of Jerusalem carry out the demolitions in Al-Bustan Neighborhood in the town of Silwan, more than 1,500 Palestinian Jerusalemites will be homeless, since half of the house owners in Al-Bustan neighborhood received an administrative demolition orders issued by the Israeli Municipality of Jerusalem.


As a result of the recent military orders, 117 Palestinians, are placed under constant expulsion threats from their lands inherited through generations. The military orders are distributed randomly; many houses in the village are located in areas classified 'C' according to Oslo. This leads to the conclusion that distributing such orders is part of the psychological warfare waged against the Palestinians.
