Khirbet Yirza: Pastures and Displacement

The article primarily addresses the issue of forced displacement in Khirbet Yerza, located east of Tubas in Palestine, where residents are being compelled to leave their lands and pastures due to escalating attacks by settlers, military pressures, and various eviction methods. Since the beginning of 2026, 11 families have been forcibly displaced as a result of these assaults, coupled with deteriorating economic and living conditions for the inhabitants. Most families rely on herding as their main source of income, and their grazing lands have been significantly affected. Additionally, movement restrictions and limitations on access to lands have increased living costs and worsened economic hardship. This displacement threatens the continuation of traditional livestock farming, with growing concerns that the exodus could become prolonged if pressures persist. Local residents, organizations, and international bodies are calling for urgent measures to protect their land and livelihoods, as ongoing displacement endangers the future of families tied to their lands across generations and makes it difficult to sustain their traditional way of life under these circumstances.
