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.

In the early morning hours of Tuesday, 11 January 2022, dozens of soldiers arrived at the communities of Khirbet ‘Ein al-Hilweh and Khirbet Um al-Jamal in the northern Jordan Valley and passed on foot near the residents’ homes on the pretext that they were training in the area. At the same time, dozens of infantry troops and tanks fired live ammunition near the community of Um al-Jamal and the village of al-Farisiyah. The training prevented area residents from taking their flocks out to pasture. The training in the Jordan Valley continued the following day, Wednesday, 12 January 2022, this time away from dwellings and cultivated fields.
