Aref Daraghmeh, who specialises in Israeli violations in the Jordan Valley, says there are more than 42 settlements and outposts as well as 26 military training camps peppering the area.
“Since October 7, settler attempts at landgrab have intensified with the help of Israeli authorities and the army, leading to the displacement of 30 Palestinian families,” he told Al Jazeera.
“In the last two months, 60 settler attacks have been documented, mainly against herders. Settlers have also been fencing off private Palestinian land to take over and preventing farmers from tending to their land,” Daraghmeh said.
