There are three Bedouin communities in the Duma vicinity: the al-Ka’abneh community, the al-Zawahreh community, and a small community that includes five families. The 3 communities live about 400 meters from each other.

We came to the home of A. of the al-Ka’abneh community. We sat in the yard, and then three settlers appeared with their flock. One of the settlers was armed. They stood around for some minutes, and when they realized we were filming, they left.

The al-Zawahreh community: we walked. The track was very difficult and rocky. Not far from their homes, a small outpost has been founded, called Gibrorei David. The settlers attack them on a daily basis, so they fenced their place in with iron and boulders left only a narrow opening. We hardly made it through. But there are always volunteers from Torat Tzedek (human rights organization active since 2017) who watch out over them. The ones we met were Y. and S.
The settlers destroyed the fence and gate that Arik Asherman had raised around the Bedouins’ area, enter freely and harass the Bedouins.

The third small community: while we were turing, Y. got a call that settlers were preventing the community’s children from returning home from their distant school. Y. drove to the location and contacted the police, and only after his intervention were the children released to continue their way.
