Bedouin communities in the West bank have been targeted with forcible relocations to townships to accommodate the growth of illegal Israeli settlements on the outskirts of East Jerusalem. [72] Bedouins also live in the Gaza strip, including 5,000 in Om al-Nasr. [73] However, the number of nomadic Bedouins is shrinking and many are now settled. [74]

Bedouins have lived in the Negev region, stretching from Gaza to the Dead Sea, since at least the fifth century. [1] Remnants of Bedouin communities in the Gaza Strip include 5,000 individuals in Om al-Nasr, as of 2022. [2] However in the Gaza strip, the number of nomadic Bedouin is shrinking and many are now settled. [3]

Galilee Bedouins numbered 5,000 in 1880 and were estimated at 8,740 for 1880-1883 by the C.R. Conder and H.H. Kitchener Survey 1881-1883. [4] A wide range likely due to the nomadic and seminomadic nature of these tribes. "Description de L'Egypte" (1812) published a list of Jaubert's statistics of nomadic tribes.

Therefore, settled civilizations usually became reliant on nomadic ones to provide the supply of horses as needed—because they did not have resources to maintain these numbers of horses themselves. [3] Camel-oriented Bedouin societies in Arabia have functioned as desert-based analogues of Central-Asian horse-oriented nomadic empires. [4]
