Northern Jordan Valley, December 22, 2024 (WAFA) – Colonists Sunday established a new colonial outpost in the Qaoun Plain west of Bardala village in the northern Jordan Valley, according to a local official.

Mutaz Bsharat, an official in charge of monitoring Israeli colonial activities in Tubas and northern Jordan Valley Governorate, reported that colonists began establishing the new outpost today, bringing a tractor, a water tank, animal feed and around 30 cattle into the area.

The outpost was established near a military checkpoint that was set up by Israeli forces about two months ago.

More than eight illegal colonial outposts, the majority of which are used for agriculture, were established in the northern Jordan Valley. These outposts enable colonists to seize vast areas of pastoral land, harass Palestinian shepherds, steal their livestock and raid their tents in an attempt to force them off the land.
