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 Saturday, 17 December 2022, at around 8:00 A.M., a settler arrived in a vehicle belonging to the Jordan Valley settlement regional council to an agricultural area located about 100 meters south of the community of Kh. ‘Ein al-Hilweh in the northern Jordan Valley and ordered Palestinian farmers who were plowing to stop working. The settler called the Israeli authorities and soldiers, Border Police and Israel Police officers arrived in three vehicles. They announced the tractor would be confiscated and detained its owner for about three hours. The sons of the tractor owner arrived and one of them insisted on driving the tractor to wherever the forces told him to take it. A Border Police officer initially tried to handcuff him, but eventually, the forces told the son to drive the tractor to the settlement of Mehola and leave it there.
