Israeli forces, settlers forcibly displace 20 families near Jericho
Around 20 Palestinian families were forcibly displaced on Wednesday night from the Arab al-Mleihat community, northwest of Jericho in the eastern occupied West Bank, after Israeli settlers established a new outpost nearby and intensified harassment, the Wafa news agency reported. The families, part of a larger Bedouin community of about 500 people, began dismantling their tents and leaving the area amid what local advocates described as mounting pressure from both settlers and Israeli forces. Hassan Mleihat, general supervisor of the Al-Baidar Organisation for the Defence of Bedouin Rights, said settlers had positioned themselves around the community's perimeter and were escalating efforts to force residents out. In a statement on Thursday, Al-Baidar warned that the displacement could erase the Arab al-Mleihat community's cultural and historical presence. According to Wafa, settlers on Wednesday brought livestock, erected tents and set up animal pens just 150 metres from Palestinian homes in the newly established outpost.

Settlers graze their livestock on Palestinian lands & storm mosque in Kisan
Jericho/Bethlehem - Saba: Today, Tuesday, Zionist settlers graze their livestock on Palestinian lands in the Ein Al-Auja community north of Jericho, causing damage to agricultural crops. The "Al-Baidar" organization for the defense of Bedouin rights confirmed that these violations are part of a policy aimed at controlling Palestinian lands. In another context, settlers, under the protection of the occupation forces, stormed the Kisan Mosque east of Bethlehem, where they caused chaos by dancing and singing. The Secretary of the Fatah movement in Kisan also pointed to the escalation of settlers' attacks on the village, including attacks on shepherds. Settler attacks continue to increase, as 68 cases of vandalism and theft of Palestinian property were recorded last month, in addition to the uprooting of 642 trees in several governorates.
