It should be marked that Israeli occupation authorities served on February 2016 demolition orders on structures and confiscated others in Jabal Al-Baba area (LINK).
Jabal Al-Baba: Closed military zone:
The Israeli Occupation Forces claim structures founded in the community of Jabal Al-Baba as built in "closed military zone". It should be marked that the community witnessed many demolition operations and displacement plans. Noteworthy, the occupation has been recently confiscating structures donated by the EU on feeble and illegal pretexts and claims. The act of providing humanitarian aid to such areas is now considered illegal by the occupation.
The E1 plan:
It should be marked that the Israeli occupation authorities have been working to relocate Bedouins from Jabal Al-Baba to implement the so-called E1 plan that aims at building hundreds of colonial units to accommodate new colonists.
About Jabal Al-Baba:
Jabal Al Baba community is inhabited by 56 families (300 members) all hailing from the area of Beir Al-Saba'. Those Bedouins were displaced in the aftermath of 1948 war. It is edged by Al-Eizariya town from the west, Al- Za'ayyem town from the north, Maale Adummim colony from east and Wad Al-Jimal community from the south. The community has a total built-up of 27 dunums. Primary and secondary school students of the community study in Al-Eizariya schools that are 2km far in distance; they go to schools on feet. Most roads of the community are agricultural and unpaved.
