Fleeing settler violence, Palestinians leave one of few remaining Jordan Valley hamlets

Over two dozen Palestinian Bedouin families have fled Ras Ein el-Auja, one of the last remaining villages in the Jordan Valley, due to escalating harassment and violence from Israeli settlers living in nearby unauthorized outposts. The village, once home to around 700 people, has seen families dismantle their homes and scatter across the West Bank in search of safety. Residents describe daily intrusions, theft, and intimidation, with little response from authorities. Rights groups say this is part of a broader pattern of settler violence that has emptied dozens of Palestinian communities in the area, further entrenching Israeli presence and altering the region's demographics.
