About Humsa Al-Fauqa:
The residents of Humsa AL-Fauqa hail from the area of Bir Al-Saba, south historical Palestine; they were forcibly expelled to the Al-Samou’ area, south Hebron. Due to the lack of water, most of them; especially Abu Kbash family moved to area of Palestinian Jordan Valley and settled down in the area of AL-Jiftlik.
It should be marked that the occupation carried out four demolition operations on the area where Abu Kbash family lives in the period between 1996-2000. As a result, the family had to move to Humsa AL-Fauqa in 2006.
Since that time, the occupation has been chasing and delivering them stop-work and demolition orders. In 2010, they were threatened of demolition but managed to obtain an injunction in 2011. Eventually, the community was demolished despite all efforts.
