Settlers attack agricultural property in Hamarah (Jordan Valley).

West Bank, Jordan Valley, Hamra, a-Nassariyah 30 April, 2025
On April 30, 2025, at around 10:20 P.M., about ten masked settlers, some of them armed, arrived in a white pickup truck and three ATVs at the tent encampment of the Abu Seif family in order to destroy their property, and steal all their Sheep. - They attacked this Palestinian farm belonging to the Abu Seif family, close to the Hamra military roadblock in the northern Jordan Valley, stealing dozens of the family’s livestock. - The settlers entered the sheep pen, drove the flock out, and stole it (70 sheep) - They smashed windows, solar panels with rocks and stones - They rammed deliberately rammed one of the family vehicle - They damaged the Second car damaged, - The tractor tires were punctured - They slashed the tires of water tankers The tent tarps were slashed, one tent set on fire. The community members managed to extinguish the fire before it spread. **Recognition of Attackers:** A Ranger ATV seen on security footage was recognized by locals as used by guards of a nearby outpost. Despite calls to the police, no officers responded. **Conclusion:** This incident reflects a broader pattern where settler violence is intertwined with state inaction or complicity, reinforcing the statement: "Settler violence is state violence." For instance, Israeli forces have tightened their military measures on Thursday at the Tayasir and Hamra military checkpoints in the northern Jordan Valley, blocking Palestinians from crossing in either direction. **A Violation of International Law** All Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are illegal under international law. They violate the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits an occupying power from transferring its own civilian population into occupied territory or forcibly transferring the local population. These actions also amount to war crimes under international legal standards and have been condemned by multiple UN and Security Council resolutions.

Summary execution of Abdel Khaleq Musab Jabour (16 y/o)

West Bank, Nablus, Salem 25 April, 2025
At least 1 martyred
On April 25, 2025, Abdulkhaleq Musab Jabour, 16 y/o, was shot and murdered by Israeli forces while he was closing his shop around 3:30 during their raid of Salem, Nablus earlier this morning. He was martyred after being critically injured by the bullets of the occupation soldiers during their raid on the village of Salem. He was subsequently transferred to the hospital, and underwent heart and lung resuscitation operations, but the doctors declared him martyred. **DCI-Palestine field investigation** *"Two Israeli military vehicles entered the Palestinian town of Salem around 3:30 p.m. through its main entrance and began patrolling through the streets. After noticing the Israeli military’s presence, Abdulkhaleq began closing up the shop where he worked, located in the Tuta Square roundabout. Israeli forces hid among some olive trees located around 30 meters (98 feet) away from the shop, where they fired three bullets at Abdulkhaleq, striking him at least once in the chest."* *"Abdulkhaleq fell to the ground, where Israeli soldiers surrounded him. Two minutes later, his aunt and another relative, in addition to several local residents, attempted to provide him with first aid, but Israeli forces continued surrounding Abdulkhaleq for at least 10 minutes. He was eventually placed in a civilian vehicle, which met an ambulance at the entrance to Salem. The ambulance transported him to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, where he was pronounced dead at 4:10 p.m."* Ayed Abu Eqtaish, accountability program director at DCIP claims : *“Abdulkhaleq was clearly no threat to Israeli soldiers, and yet they fatally shot him anyway, and as usual, no one will be held accountable for killing a Palestinian child in cold blood. How many Palestinian children’s bodies is enough for the world to enact sanctions on Israel and force accountability?”* **Name of the martyr :** Abdulkhaleq Musab Jabour, 16
