Palestinian herders

Israeli forces destroyed three main water wells in Ras al-Ahmar, a northern Jordan Valley community in the occupied West Bank, leaving Palestinian residents without reliable water access for families, crops, and livestock. Local farmer Ali Bani Odeh highlighted the critical role of water in sustaining livelihoods in the region.

Israeli forces destroyed three main water wells in Ras al-Ahmar, a Palestinian community in the Jordan Valley, impacting 47 families and their livestock. Residents now face severe water shortages, higher costs, and restricted access due to military checkpoints and settler attacks on water infrastructure.

Palestinian herders have filed a petition with the High Court challenging the IDF's confiscation of water tankers. The motion argues that the IDF must address the humanitarian needs of West Bank Bedouin hamlet residents, who can no longer sustain themselves or their livestock due to the confiscations.
