The Palestinian Bedouin community of al-Baqa’a of 36 people, including 20 children, has left its area, where a settlement outpost was established inside the community on June 21, after settlers set one of their tents on fire with two Palestinians inside on Monday and have intimidated the community from accessing their land and moving freely, according to Lynn Hastings, United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Palestine. She said that this relocation from al Baqa’a is not an isolated one. Before that, 132 Palestinians left Ein Samiya community in May after settler attacks and other coercive measures. In 2022-2023, 134 Palestinians, including 83 children, left Wadi al-Seeq and Ras al-Tin communities under similar circumstances.
