Figure1-4 : General View for Al-Mlehat clans
The Mlehat Bedouin clans assemble east of Deer Dwin, particularly in Maghyar al-Deer area. This assembly of Mlehat clans is considered as the second biggest in the West Bank thus the Biggest is situated in Almuarjat area. It consists of about 250 families with average of 3 persons per family. (about 750 people) who have been living there for 35 years. They mainly live in farm houses made of aluminum and depend on herding sheep as their major source of income. The origins of the people is traced back to Beersheva (Be’er Al Sabe’) area occupied in 1948 thus they were expelled to the West Bank where they moved into different areas. It is worth mentioning that Al-Mleeha clans have been also expelled from Al-Irqa area east to Deer Diwan village to Maghyer Al deer area, which is located 7 kilometer away from it in mid 80s after declaring it as a closed military zone by the Israeli Forces. Al Mlehat have been living there since mid 80s until this moment as there happen to be some turbulences due to the consistent targeting of its people and properties by IOF which might be an indicator of another catastrophic diaspora similar to what happened in 1948.
