Khirbet Samrah, the Jordan Valley:: Israeli settlers repeatedly invade residential compound

On Wednesday, 24 September 2025, at around noon, two settlers riding an ATV invaded the residential compound of the four remaining families in the community of Samrah. They drove around the homes and sheep pens, raising clouds of dust that entered the residents’ houses, honking and making noise.

The settlers, who arrive from the direction of outposts established just a few kilometers from the community, and from nearby settlements, invade the community on an almost daily basis, and sometimes twice a day. They arrive on ATVs or horseback. This harassment is intended to drive the families from their homes and complete the expulsion of the Khirbet Samrah community.
