Bosniaks represent a bright page in the history of the ethnic communities that formed the rich social fabric of the peoples of this region. They are the descendants of immigrants who came from the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Ottoman Empire, and who were exhausted by the Balkan wars in the nineteenth century, so they fled the conditions of the Austro-Hungarian occupation, where they were settled by the Ottoman Empire on the coast of northern Palestine, where they re-established the coastal city of Caesarea. After the Nakba, the Bosniak of Palestine was scattered in the Jenin and Tulkarm areas, and in the cities of asylum in Jordan and Lebanon.
