Settlers place occupation flags near citizens' homes in the northern Jordan Valley.

On Monday, Israeli settler groups escalated their provocations against residents of the Ain al-Hilweh area, one of the communities threatened with forced displacement in the northern Jordan Valley. They placed Israeli flags near residents' tents and homes in the area, a move residents considered a direct provocation and an attempt to impose a settlement reality by force.

According to local sources, the settlers roamed near residents' homes and erected flags near their tents. This comes at a time when the area is witnessing near-daily raids by groups of heavily armed settlers, who carry out repeated attacks aimed at intimidating residents and forcing them to leave.

This move comes as part of an ongoing series of settler violations in the northern Jordan Valley, which include daily attacks on residents, vandalism of their property, and persecution of pastureland residents, in addition to attacks on and theft of livestock, all under the direct protection and support of the occupation forces.

The Ain al-Hilweh area is one of the most prominent areas targeted by forced displacement operations, as part of the occupation's plan to annex the Jordan Valley and impose complete control over it. This constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits the transfer of civilians from their lands or the persecution of civilians to force them to leave.
