A small shepherding community near Ramallah was forced to leave their homes after being subjected to harassment and threats from Israeli settlers. The community had initially been told to vacate the area by settlers in the preceding weeks.
According to eyewitnesses, soldiers arrived at the village and ordered residents to pack their belongings and leave immediately. No official reason for the eviction was provided. The village’s residents, many of whom are descendants of the original settlers, were given only one month’s notice before being asked to depart.
The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between Palestinian communities and Israeli settlers in the West Bank. The eviction has sparked concerns about the potential displacement of more Palestinian villagers in the region.
The army’s actions have been criticized by human rights groups, who say that the forced eviction is a violation of international law and Palestinian rights.
