Wadi Fukin (Arabic: وادي فوقين) is a Palestinian village in the West Bank, eight kilometers southwest of Bethlehem in the Bethlehem Governorate. The village is located on 700 acres of land,[4] between the Green Line and the Israeli West Bank barrier,[5] with the Israeli settlement of Beitar Illit on one side and the Israeli town of Tzur Hadasa on the other.[4] According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, Wadi Fukin had a population of over 1,342 in 2017.[1] The village relies on agriculture as its primary source of income.[6] Israel served eviction orders on the village in September 2014.[7]
Ahmad Sukkar is the head of the village council.[8]
