Settlers Attack Bedouins

Illegal Israeli settlers attacked Bedouin gatherings near al-‘Auja and Hebron, stealing property and vandalizing homes.
The al-Baydar Organization says the assaults reflect a broader trend of violence aimed at displacing Bedouin families.
In recent months, invasions and property destruction have increased, displacing dozens of Bedouin families.
Human rights groups warn that without international intervention, the campaign could threaten Bedouin survival in the Jordan Valley and reinforce Israeli control.
