(Ynet News) Ben-Dror Yemini - The members of the al-Qiyan Bedouin tribe were transferred to the Yatir Forest area in the 1950s. Most tribe members later moved to the village of Hura. A small minority left the Yatir area and spread to the Hiran area. At the center of the violence on Wednesday was a minority who felt they had massive backing from radical activists backed by NGOs and Islamic Movement activists, helped with a lot of European money. A Supreme Court ruling determined that "most of the tribe members moved to Hura - a Bedouin community, which is regulated and connected to infrastructures - and the remaining ones are required to evacuate their homes, and are being offered to move to Hura."
