JERICHO / TUBAS, July 22, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists renewed their attacks Tuesday evening on Palestinian communities in the northern Jordan Valley and Jericho area.

In the al-Maleh community of the northern Jordan Valley, local sources reported that groups of colonists stormed the area and roamed through multiple parts of the community in a provocative manner, harassing residents. The area has witnessed repeated colonists’ incursions in recent days.

These attacks come just days after armed colonists assaulted residents’ homes in al-Maleh, fired live bullets, and terrorized families. They also killed and stole dozens of livestock. The intensifying violence forced at least two Palestinian families to flee the area under duress last Friday.

Meanwhile, in the village of al-Auja north of Jericho, colonists carried out another round of provocative movements inside the village, moving between Palestinian homes and raiding nearby agricultural lands with their livestock.

Hassan Malihat, the general supervisor of the Al-Baydar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights, said colonists deliberately destroy property and livelihoods, fueling growing fears of a renewed escalation in attacks aimed at the Palestinian presence in the area.

He urged the international community and human rights organizations to take urgent action to protect Bedouin and agricultural communities in the Jordan Valley from the threat of forced displacement.
