The threatened families have been residing in the areas known as Al Kuwwara and Ka’abna for decades; the colony of Adam Benjamin was established in 1970 to become a source of misery for these people. Ka’abna are Bedouins who were displaced after the Israeli occupation of Palestine in 1948 from Ber Shiva area. They settled in a number of areas around the West Bank and have been constantly targeted by the Israelis.
