Shu’ub Al Bottum Hamlet:
The hamlet is located 15 kilometers southwest of the city of Yatta. About 100 Palestinians relative to the clans of Al Jabareen and Al Najjar reside the area. They have been living there even before the Israeli occupation of 1967. Residents of the hamlet depend on agriculture and animal husbandry as a source of living. Harvested rainwater support their drinking needs as well as their animals’. The area lacks signs of modern life; there is only one electrical generator that provides the area with electricity for few hours on daily basis. It is mostly not used due to the lack of fuel.
The hamlet is bounded by the outpost of Avigyl from the east while the outpost of Mizpe Ya’ir bounds it from the south. It is bounded by Road 60 from the north and the colony of Susiya from the west.
