It is worth mentioning that Umm Jamal community is located in Wadi Al Maleh, 12 km east of Tubas. It is inhabited by Al Ka'abna people who were kicked out from Beersheba, south of historic Palestine, in the 1948 war.
The residents depend on sheep grazing as their only source of income. They build their shelters with wood and cloth and lead a life that could be described as primitive.
Um al-Jamal community is constantly targeted by demolition:
It should be marked that this community has already been served a stop work on April 2010 and that it was demolished two months later on July 2010.
On April 2012, most of the residences and barracks of the community were served stop work orders. Residents sought the legal department of Tubas government to object the order but the Planning Committee of the Civil Administration served, on October 2013, demolition orders on structures owned by 12 different families.
On January 2014, the occupation embarked on a massive demolition that reached out all the houses and barracks in the community. For further information about this case please read through our reports ( Ar, Eng)
