JORDAN VALLEY, May 25, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists chased and harassed Palestinian livestock herders on Sunday while they were grazing their livestock in the northern Jordan Valley region, northeast of the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Mehdi Daraghmeh, head of the al-Maleh Village Council, said the colonists forced the herders out of grazing areas in the al-Burj area in the Jordan Valley, part of a growing trend of aggressive displacement in the area.

Daraghmeh noted that colonists regularly pursue and expel herders from the already limited pastures available to them. He added that tens of thousands of dunums of grazing land in the northern Jordan Valley are now effectively under the control of colonists, severely restricting access for Palestinian communities that depend on livestock for their livelihoods.
