Colonists Open Fire on Palestinian Shepherd in Northern Jordan Valley

Gaza: Extremist colonists opened fire Monday evening at a Palestinian citizen while he was herding his cattle near his tents in the northern Jordan Valley.

According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, resident Kenan Faqha reported that several colonists emerged from three vehicles and began firing shots at him as he was grazing his cattle near his tents in the Khillat Al-Hamma area. Faqha emphasized that this incident is part of a broader policy aimed at pressuring Palestinian residents to vacate their grazing lands and abandon the area.

Since last summer, escalating attacks by colonists have resulted in the displacement of more than 20 Palestinian families from their homes in the northern Jordan Valley. Three Palestinian communities have been entirely depopulated due to these aggressive actions, prompting families from other communities to flee for similar reasons.
