*MASAFER YATTA is a collection of 19 villages in the South Hebron Hills of the West Bank, Palestine. This rural region is considered “Area C”, which are territories of the West Bank that are under complete control of the Israeli government and its occupation force and make up more than 60% of the West Bank.

While Palestinians in these areas are subjected to military checkpoints which they can’t cross without special permits, the Israeli apartheid law allows Israeli citizens to have complete freedom of movement through these areas, areas that are used as a large and important part in the Zionist settler project of greater Israel.

The Zionist regime tactically places violent settlers on hills over the Palestinian villages. Protected by the law, the army and the police, the settlers use physical and psychological terror on the Palestinians with the goal of running them out of their villages and taking over. This system of violence and intimidation backed up by the law creates a living environment of constant danger and fear and we see the situation escalating day by day – communities attacked, villages burnt and destroyed and Palestinians having everything taken away from them while the settlers are getting more and more power. Masafer Yatta is an area which is extremely prone to attacks, where not a day goes by peacefully.
Any attempt by the Palestinians to resist their living being taken away from them can result in arrests, violence or worse – loss of lives.

Let’s make a change together!
