Israeli occupation forces demolished facilities in Jericho on Tuesday evening, while settlers vandalized agricultural crops south of Hebron.
Hassan Malihat, general supervisor of the Al-Baidar organization for the defense of Bedouin rights, said in a press statement that the occupation authorities, accompanied by representatives from the settlement council and settlers from the colonial outposts adjacent to Arab Malihat in Jericho, demolished two barracks owned by Jamal Malihat, one of which was designated as a residential area and the other as a sheep pen.
He added that the occupation forces demolished the facilities that supply electricity to the residents and are used in their daily lives, in the presence of the director of the "Mefo'ot Yeriho" settlement, Jibrin Kalash, during the demolition operations.
The Arab al-Malihat, like other Bedouin communities in the Jordan Valley, face ongoing escalation by the occupation and its settlers, including demolitions, land seizures, and the prevention of construction and infrastructure development.
In Hebron, media activist Osama Makhamreh said that settlers stormed the village of Al-Mafqara, roamed around the homes of citizens, and released their livestock into a plot of land planted with more than 120 olive trees, owned by citizen Fayez Makhamreh in Khirbet Maghayer Al-Ubaid. The livestock grazed on dozens of olive trees owned by citizen Shahada Makhamreh, and destroyed agricultural crops owned by citizen Kayed Makhamreh.
In the "Fatah Sidra" area, settlers released their sheep around the home of citizen Farid Al-Hamamdeh, destroying irrigated seedlings around the house, fruit trees, and areas of agricultural crops.
