Settler attacks on Khirbet Al-Markaz

Khirbet al-Markaz (Al-Mirkaz) is a Palestinian shepherding community in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron. Located within Israel's declared Firing Zone 918, it has faced repeated demolition threats, movement restrictions, and the risk of mass displacement alongside other Masafer Yatta villages.

In 2022, Israel's Supreme Court upheld eviction orders affecting several Masafer Yatta communities, including Al-Markaz, putting more than a thousand Palestinians at risk of displacement.

Access roads to Al-Markaz have periodically been blocked by Israeli forces using dirt mounds and gates, restricting movement.
