Bardalah, Jordan Valley: Israeli settlers attacked and injured a Palestinian farmer grazing sheep

On Wednesday morning, 5 February 2025, ‘Abdallah Abu a-Sheikh (46), from the village of Bardalah, was grazing his sheep in the al-Qa’un agricultural area located 800 meters northwest of the village. Around 9:00 A.M., three settlers arrived by car, attacked Abu a-Sheikh, beat him, including with clubs, and broke several of his teeth.

Farmers who were nearby rushed to Abu a-Sheikh's aid, and the settlers took off. He was then taken to the medical center in the nearby village of 'Ein al-Beida.

Abu a-Sheikh went to the police station in the settlement of Ariel the next day to file a complaint, but the officers did not let him in, and he was forced to return without filing the report.
