Palestinian society Not to be confused with Negev Bedouin . Bedouin tribes in the West Bank Palestinian Bedouins are a nomadic people who have come to form an organic part of the Palestinian people, characterized by a semi-pastoral and agricultural lifestyle. Originating from the Bi’r as-Saba’/ Beersheba region in Southern Historical Palestine, Palestinian Bedouin are now, after various waves of forced displacement, predominantly concentrated in the South ( al-Naqab /Negev and Gaza), the North (al-Jalil/ Galilee ) and in the West Bank . Bedouins have lived in the Bi’r as-Saba’/Naqab region, stretching from Gaza to the Dead Sea, since at least the fifth century.¹ Bi’r as-Saba’, the Naqab, and bilad Gaza are topographic/topological terms used by communities of Southern Palestine. The Bi’r as-Saba’/Naqab Bedouin until recent times referred to themselves as the Arabs of Bi’r as-Saba’ (‘urban al-saba’ or Saba’wi) . Remnants of Bedouin communities are also to be found in the Gaza Strip , including 5,000 Bedouins in Om al-Nasr .² However in the Gaza strip, the number of true, nomadic Bedouins is shrinking and many are now settled.³ There are <ref group=lower-alpha> tags or templates on this page, but the references will not show without a template or template (see the help page ).
