In 1981, Israel declared Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank a military firing zone. After a 22-year legal battle, Israel's highest court ruled in 2022 that Palestinian families living there for generations could be forcibly expelled.

Palestinian activist Basel Adra grew up watching his father protest and get arrested for resisting displacement.
