Bethlehem has become a frontline in Israel’s settlement expansion. At least 40 illegal settlements and outposts have taken over 87% of the Bethlehem district, leaving little space for Palestinian homes. Settlement expansion has also taken control of water resources, while Palestinian families face intimidation and pressure to leave. Al Jazeera's Nour Odeh reports from Bethlehem.
