Ariha – SABA:
Groups of Zionist settlers invaded the Bedouin village of Arab Al-Malihaat northwest of Ariha in occupied Palestine on Wednesday evening, trespassing through residential areas while photographing Palestinian homes, sheep pens, and grazing lands.
Hasan Malihaat, director of the Al-Baidar Organization for Defending Bedouin Rights, told WAFA news agency that settlers conducted surveillance on civilian properties, noting:
"These incursions represent systematic intimidation tactics to forcibly displace indigenous Bedouin communities."
Parallel Incident:
- Settlers used bulldozers under Israeli army protection to block a vital road linking Duma village to Majdal Bani Fadil south of Nablus
- Duma Village Council head Suleiman Dawabsha stated:
"This road had just reopened after years of closure when settlers barricaded it again – now dangerously close to Palestinian homes."
- The blockade prevents farmers from accessing agricultural lands.
Both Arab Al-Malihaat and Duma face daily settler attacks as part of Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign in Area C of the West Bank.
