Today, 3:47 am
An entire Bedouin community fled their village north of Jericho on Thursday night, succumbing to repeated attacks by Israeli settlers from surrounding illegal outposts, Peace Now reports.
Hundreds of Muarjat residents are now looking for a home elsewhere, the settlement watchdog says.
In recent months, settlers from nearby outposts routinely harassed Muarjat residents, blocking grazing, issuing threats, attacking people and stealing livestock, according to Peace Now.
On Wednesday, settlers established a new outpost several feet outside the community school. The family living nearby was forced to flee, and their property was looted, according to the watchdog.

Where will new Settlors expect to get more land without Israel claiming new territory that it doesn't own?

Senior lawmakers and ministers in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus Likud party launched a push on Wednesday urging the premier to annex the West Bank before the end of the Knessets summer session on July 27, claiming that he must ride the historic achievements of the war against Iran.
In a letter signed by 15 Likud ministers currently in government as well as Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, the lawmakers wrote that after the State of Israels historic achievements in the face of Irans axis of evil and its sympathizers, the task must be completed and the existential threat from within must be eliminated, to prevent another massacre in the heart of the country.
The politicians added that the strategic partnership, backing and support of the US and President Donald Trump have made it a propitious time to move forward with it now, and ensure Israels security for generations.

(4,409 posts)Dozens of Jewish extremists set fire to a security installation and rioted outside a West Bank base overnight Sunday-Monday, days after an officer in the Israel Defense Forces was assaulted by settlers.
Members of the crowd held up a sign declaring the battalion commander is a traitor, referring to the officer.
A military official said some of the settlers tried to break into the Binyamin Regional Brigade military base in the central West Bank, threw rocks and sprayed mace at troops, and slashed the tires of army vehicles.
Additionally, Israeli settlers torched a multi-million-shekel security installation used to thwart terror attacks and maintain security in the Ramallah area of the West Bank overnight, according to the IDF.
