JORDAN VALLEY, August 11, 2025 (WAFA) – Colonists forced shepherds to leave their pastures in Al-Hamma in the northern Jordan Valley on Monday.

Local sources reported that armed colonists forced the shepherds to leave their pastures in Al-Hamma and pursued them to areas close to their tents in the same area.

All areas of the northern Jordan Valley have witnessed a significant escalation in attacks by armed colonists against citizens and their property, including physical assaults, preventing them from grazing, stealing their livestock and property, and raiding their tents.

Due to these attacks, more than 25 Palestinian families have been displaced from their homes in the northern Jordan Valley since last summer, and three communities have been completely emptied. The number of Palestinian families in other communities has also decreased.

According to a report by the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, issued in early August, the colonists' terror and the imposition of a coercive, repulsive environment, carried out under the systematic sponsorship of the official establishment in the occupying state, have led to the displacement of 33 Bedouin communities since October 7, 2023.
