Tawani[3] or at-Tuwani (Arabic: التواني) is a small Palestinian village in the south Hebron Hills of the Hebron Governorate. Many of the village's residents live in caves. The village is located south-east of the village of Yatta. Approximately one kilometre (0.62 miles) away lies Tel Tuwani, near the Israeli settlement of Ma’on. Frequent disputes occur between at-Tawani's residents and settlers over land, roads and water resources.[4][5] The village had a population of 194 residents in 2017.[1]
