Settlers force 5 Bedouin families from Palestine to leave. Al-Baidar, an organization concerned with the rights of Bedouins in the West Bank, said that Israeli settlers forced five Palestinian families to leave a community they have lived in since the 1970s.
The residents of the Al-Sukhan community, estimated to number about 200 people, are threatened by the same fate. The organization's official warned that the departure of all families - if it occurs - would mean the settlers' seizure of large mountainous areas.
