JORDAN VALLEY, February 26, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists Wednesday set up a tent near the tents of Palestinians citizens in Khirbet Samra in the northern Jordan Valley.

Human rights activist Aref Daraghmeh said that a group of colonists set up a tent near the homes of local resident Yasser Abu Aram, noting that these lands are owned by the residents of Tubas.

He explained that this comes within the framework of further restrictions on the people of the Jordan Valley and pushing them to leave, by establishing more colonial outposts, or establishing new facilities aimed at linking the existing colonial outposts to each other.

Dragmeh confirmed that the place where the tent was set up today is located near the outpost that was established years ago in Khirbet al-Suwayda, which leads to expectations of an intention to connect it to the aforementioned outpost and expand it and later link it to the colonies surrounding the area.

He noted that the settlers have been working diligently during the recent period to establish arbors and tents that will later turn into colonial outposts that block the way for shepherds to reach pastures, and also a starting point for daily and dangerous attacks on the residents, to have them to leave by force, as happened months ago in the Umm al-Jimal gathering.

The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission monitored the colonists' attempt to establish 10 new colonial outposts since the beginning of last January, which were predominantly agricultural and pastoral in nature, and were distributed as four new colonial outposts on the lands of Tubas Governorate, three outposts in Nablus Governorate, and three others in Qalqilya, Ramallah, and Bethlehem.

The Commission indicated that the decision to establish colonial outposts comes under directions from within the Israeli cabinet, which sponsors the colonial settlement project and provides facilities to terrorist colonists in order to implement plans to control the land and forcibly displace.
