Field observation- Monitoring Israeli Violations Department- Land Research Center 2014
It should be marked that the notified families had been targeted before by demolition twice of each year between 2006-2008. These two families fled from the area of al-Farisya to reside in al-Meyteh after they had their structures demolished to find out the occupation targeting reached them out even in this area.
About Khirbet al-Meyteh:
Al-Meyteh as other Bedouin communities in the area of Palestinian Jordan Valley (al-ghoor) has been a target for the occupation. The population of the area reached up to 120 people who live in houses made of wood, cloth shades. Sheep husbandry is the main profession of the community residents. The great majority of the residents come from and have roots in the community of Arab al-Meyteh in the area of Wadi al-Maleh, citizens of the area belong especially to the families of Dababat and Sawafta.
This Khirbet witnessed more than 7 demolitions between 2005-2013 carried out by the occupation for the sake of displacing indigenous who have been living there since 40 years ago.
Meanwhile, the occupation has been active in looting and Judaizing lands and destroying the natural resources of al-ghoor for the sake of emptying the area to accomplish their grater goal of al-ghoor takeover.
