Jenin: Israeli occupation forces on Monday forced Palestinian shepherds to leave their pastures in the northern Jordan Valley. Local sources reported that the occupation forces forced the shepherds to leave their pastures near Khirbet Samra in the northern Jordan Valley and prevented them from grazing their livestock.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the region has witnessed an escalation in attacks by colonists and Israeli forces targeting both Palestinians and their property. Due to these attacks, more than 25 Palestinian families have been displaced from their homes in the northern Jordan Valley since last summer, and three communities have been completely emptied. The number of Palestinian families in other communities has also decreased.
A report by the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, issued in early August, highlighted that settler intimidation and the imposition of a coercive, expulsive environment, carried out with the systematic support of the official establishment of the occupying state, have led to the displacement of 33 Bedouin communities since October 7, 2023.
