The occupation forces arrest activists north of Jericho.

Israeli occupation forces arrested, on Monday, activists in the Bedouin village of Shallalat al-Auja, north of Jericho.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces arrested activists who expressed solidarity with the residents of the Al-Auja waterfall, who are facing ongoing violations by the occupation and settlers. Among those arrested was activist Ben Benson.

Hassan Malihat, general supervisor of the Al-Baidar organization for the defense of Bedouin rights, explained that this is a dangerous escalation in an ongoing campaign targeting Bedouin communities in the Jordan Valley, with the aim of pressuring their residents and forcing them to leave. He considered what is happening to be a "clear violation of international law and humanitarian conventions."
