On Sunday, 15 May 2022, at around 1:00 P.M., Jordan Valley Settlement Council employees arrived with a military escort to fields near the communities of Khirbet al-Malih and Khirbet Um al-Jamal while Palestinian farmers were harvesting their crops. The forces confiscated a harvesting machine used by the farmers and a vehicle belonging to one of the farmers for three hours to prevent them from continuing their work. The force then returned the harvesting machine to its owner but ordered the farmer whose vehicle had been confiscated to drive it to a military post near Khirbet Samrah.
