- Violation: threat of demolition
- Location: southeast Duma village- Nablus
- Date: January 28, 2016
- Perpetrators: Israeli Occupation Forces
- Victims: 7 Bedouin families
Details:
With no infrastructure and electricity, the Bedouins of Al-Kaa'bnah have been residing the area known as Ain Al-Rash-ash, south Nablus city for over 30years. Living in houses made by hey and metal slaps, most of Al-Kaa'bnah Bedouins were born there developing a unique bondage with the land, valleys and mountains.
It should be marked that the area is located amidst three Israeli colonies namely (Kida, Yesh Kodish and Shilo). Not only, a military map is founded in the nearby, causing so much damage and changing facts on the ground.
On January 28, 2016 the Israeli Occupation Forces raided the community and verbally notified the residents of eviction within days on the claim that the area is "closed military zone"

It is indicated that the Israeli occupation authorities notified the residents of the community of eviction in 2014 on the claim of the area being "closed military zone". Al-Kaa'bnah people objected to the order in Israel Supreme Court through a human rights organization on July 2014. The plea was rejected on 2015 and the area was declared "closed military zone".
The residents of the Bedouin community showed unprecedented resilience and steadfastness on their land despite all dangers and threats of the occupation. The following table shows information about the affected families due to the eviction order:
