Areha - Saba:
On Tuesday, Israeli settlers surrounded the Al-Auja Waterfall Bedouin community, north of Jericho, and grazing their sheep amidst the homes of residents.
The Al-Baydar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights said that groups of settlers surrounded the Al-Auja Waterfall community in an attempt to isolate it from its surroundings and separate residents from each other, in preparation for imposing complete control over the area, according to the Palestinian News Agency (SAFA).
The organization noted that settlers are using various methods to pressure residents, including intimidation and daily harassment, with the aim of creating division and disintegration within the community. This threatens the social fabric and weakens the residents' ability to persevere and remain on their land.
The organization emphasized that these practices represent a dangerous escalation in the policies of displacement and creeping annexation pursued by the Israeli occupation authorities, supported by settlers.
The organization called on human rights and humanitarian organizations to take urgent action to stop these violations.
