It should be marked that Al-Treifat community hail from the occupied Bier al-Saba' , from which they were expelled in 1948 to reside in the areas of south Hebron governorate .Hard life conditions and the lack of pastoral lands and water is what pushed a big part of this Bedouin community to move to the area of Al-Jiftlik, Nuwei'ma and Al-Auja.
Bedouins of this community live a primitive life that lacks all basic needs and standards such like water and electricity not mentioning the infrastructure. Metal slabs and cloth shades are the main material from which Bedouins build their houses. Mobile Water tanks is the only means for water supply.
Since 1967 until 2005, the whole community was demolished three times by the Israeli occupation forces.
