Israeli settlers, Sunday, chased away Palestinian shepherds while they were grazing their livestock in open fields near al-Sweida area, in the northern Jordan Valley, said a local source.
Aref Daraghmeh, a rights activist, said that settlers forced the shepherds out of the pastures and prevented them from herding their livestock.
Israeli forces and settlers’ harassment of shepherds has become a daily occurrence in the Jordan Valley, WAFA further reports, which Israel is trying to empty of its Palestinian residents while yet increasing its Israeli settler population.
