About Arab Al-Maa'zi:
The Bedouin people residing in the area of northern Jaba’ town are reported to be there since 30 years ago and never been attacked or targeted before. In 2013, the Israeli occupation authorities started a series of harassments and attacks on the area, targeting residents and their properties as well.
The residents of this area hail from Negev but were displaced in the aftermath of the 1948 war to the areas of Palestinian Jordan Valley (Al-Ghoor). Now, the occupation is working so hard to empty the areas of Al-Ghoor to serve colonial expansion plans.
About Arab Al-Maa'zi community:
It is located on lands from Jaba’ town in east Jerusalem. The community is bounded by the bypass road no. 458 from the east, bypass road no.60 from the west, Adam colony from the south and Shei’r Benyamin colony from the north.
The community accommodates 8 Bedouin families including 60 members since 1974.
