JORDAN VALLEY, July 14, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists escalated their provocations on Monday in the Ein al-Hilweh, one of the Palestinian communities facing imminent forcible displacement in the northern Jordan Valley.

Colonists placed Israeli flags near the tents and homes of local residents, in what the community described as a direct provocation and an attempt to impose a new colonial reality by force.

Local sources told WAFA that the colonists roamed near residents' structures and erected flags in close proximity to their tents.

The area has been witnessing near-daily incursions by armed colonist groups who carry out repeated assaults aimed at intimidating the population and pressuring them to leave.

This move is part of a broader and ongoing pattern of colonial violations in the northern Jordan Valley, which includes daily attacks on residents, the destruction of property, harassment of shepherds in grazing areas, and assaults on livestock, including theft, under the protection and direct support of Israeli occupation forces.

Ein al-Hilweh is among the most targeted areas in the Israeli campaign of forcible displacement, part of a broader plan to annex the Jordan Valley and assert full control over it. Such actions constitute a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits the transfer or forced displacement of civilian populations, as well as coercive measures intended to drive them from their land.
