Threats and Obstacles - details
The outpost of Mor Farm, which is a single-man settlement, is particularly aggressive in driving the shepherds away and controlling their lands.
The military tower is monitoring the movement of the resident and the visitors. During the second Intifada the road connecting Dhahiriya with Bir Esabea' (Be'er Sheva) was closed, which tripled the distance between the community and their home town.
