Overview

• At least 50 Bedouin families have fled their Jordan Valley communities by early July, including 30 who dismantled their homes in one week after escalating settler attacks.
• Protesters in Sinjil have faced settler rock-throwing, deliberate fires and warning shots from Israeli forces that have forced them to retreat.
• Israeli authorities have erected fences along Road 60 near Sinjil that cut off Palestinian neighbourhoods and hinder villagers’ access to farmland.
• Rights group B’Tselem reports that settlers near Mu’arrajat have stormed schools, blocked vehicles and launched assaults under apparent army protection.
• Displaced Bedouin families and activists describe the evictions as a “new Nakba” as settlement expansion accelerates land loss under long-standing military occupation.
