On Saturday 3rd February a group of settlers raided Palestinian homes in Ras al Auja, north of Jericho, and attacked their sheep. Shortly afterwards, occupation police and army arrived in trucks and confiscated the sheep.

The IOF then chased shepherds whilst grazing their sheep on pastureland east of Makhul, in the northern Jordan Valley, and forced them off their land.

The settlers fired live ammunition and vandalised the car of a local Palestinian citizen. Another citizen was taken to hospital with a head-wound after being hit by a stone.
