History
History
The community was expelled in 1948 towards Hebron And Bethlehem from Tel Arad. They reached their current location looking for water sources and grazing lands. Since the area was confiscated and declared part of Ma'ale Adumim settlement in 1975, they can no longer move seasonally and sit in the area during the entire year.
