It should be marked that  Khirbet al-Krazliya  is located 3km away from Jiftlik village, where an Israeli military camp is founded in the nearby. This community lacks the lowest life standers for it has no roads, services and even infrastructure; resident of the area live a primitive life and take sheep husbandry as the main source of income.

According to the data of Jiftlik village council, the Bedouin community of al-Krazliya was targeted six times since 2014 and until now under the pretext of it being located with an area claimed "closed" by the Israeli occupation.

The people of this community come originally from the town of Aqraba; as nomads, they moved from that area to settle down in al-Krazliya area . Despite the simple life the residents of this community live, they are still targeted and oppressed by the Israeli occupation via demolition and displacement.
