About Al-Deir:
It should be marked that Khirbet al-Deir is 1km to the western side of the Palestinian-Jordanian borders and 2km to the eastern side of Tubas governorate.
The lands of Khirbet al-Deir are classified as "taboo" or listed in the Ottoman land registry; despite that residents have ownership documents for their lands, yet the occupation insists on displacing them.
Residents of the area come originally from Tubas and Tammun village in the nearby. Life is characterized as primitive where houses and barns take the shape of tents; agricultural and animal husbandry is people's only source of income there.
