About Al-Hadidiya hamlet:
It is considered part of Thaher Al Maleh area located 33 km east Tubas. Moreover, its total population is about 70 people who depend on agriculture and livestock in their living. Most of the residents are nomads descending from Bisharat and Odeh families from Tammun, they resided in Sahel Al Beqea' the dents for planting and growing cattle just like any other nomad assemblage in the area that used to belong to Palestinians.
The hamlet underwent many demolitions by the Israeli occupation authorities, which do not recognize and acknowledge this area to be Palestinian.
The redundant demolitions, which reached out almost every structure in the hamlet, aim at displacing the residents of the area to become under the military control of the Israeli occupation. This is to serve the Zionist Plan in the area of Palestinian Jordan Valley.
