Israeli settlers are driving Palestinian shepherds from their grazing lands
Israeli settlers have increasingly targeted Palestinian shepherds in the Jordan Valley, leading to the displacement of entire communities. The attacks have involved destruction of crops, assaults on farmers, and theft of livestock, forcing families to flee their homes. This pattern of violence appears to be part of a systematic campaign to drive Palestinians from their land, exacerbated by the current Israeli government's policies.
- ▪Settler attacks in the Jordan Valley have intensified over the past three years, leading to the displacement of Palestinian families.
- ▪Fourteen families, approximately 100 individuals, have fled their homes due to near-daily settler violence.
- ▪The Israeli military has been involved in supporting settlers during attacks, further complicating the situation for local Palestinians.
