B'Tselem's privacy policy

Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations. B’Tselem strives to end this regime, as that is the only way forward to a future in which human rights, democracy, liberty and equality are ensured to all people, both Palestinian and Israeli, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Since the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023, Israel has acted in a coordinated and deliberate manner to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip, committing genocide against its residents. In light of Israel’s actions in Gaza, the public statements made by Israeli decision-makers, and the international community’s failure to take effective action, there is a serious risk that the Israeli regime will expand the genocide to other areas under its control—first and foremost, the West Bank. B’Tselem calls on the Israeli public and the international community to use every tool available under international law to bring an immediate end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.

On Thursday morning, 11 Oct. 2018, at approximately 10:00 A.M., Civil Administration officials came with a military and Border Police escort and two bulldozers to the area of al-Musafah, which lies east of the village of al-Jiftlik in the Jordan Valley. The forces demolished a pre-fab that was home to a couple and their child, leaving them homeless. The forces also demolished three livestock paddocks. They then continued south to the community of al-Mahruq, which lies east of the village of al-Jiftlik, and demolished two tents that were the winter homes of two families - 15 people altogether, seven of them minors - and two livestock paddocks.
