On August 3, 2015, a group of Israeli army vehicles and several Israeli Civil Administration representatives distributed seven demolition orders to the Bedouin community of Jabal al-Baba, which is located between East Jerusalem and the expansive Ma’ale Adumim settlement and at the heart of Israeli authorities’ E1 settlement plan. The plan aims to link settlements around Jerusalem, at once consolidating Israel’s illegal annexation of East Jerusalem and separating the north of the West Bank from the south. When asked what the Bedouin community would do if these homes were demolished, community representative Atallah Masara responded without hesitation, “We will rebuild again.”
