About Dhra' Awwad:
It should be marked that the area of Dhra' Awwad is located 2km to the north of Al-Hamra military checkpoint and 30km to the south of Tubas. The area was notified of demolition until residents won a plea submitted to Israeli courts to halt demolitions. But this changed in the aftermath of the latest wave of rage in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
The residents of Dhra’ Awwad come originally from the southern part of the occupied historic Palestine in 1948. Residents first fled to the area of al-Samu’, south Hebron and then moved to the area of Dhra’ Awwad, looking for water and pastures.
