Bardala is located in the north Jordan Valley. According to Younis Tirawi, at the end of December 2024, an outpost appeared, close to Palestinian-owned private land, and constructions for a road to connect it to the main road are done daily on palestinian private land. This new illegal outpost is stealing the town's lands and making the residents' life insufferable. One of the settlers is Eitan Ze'ev, known for shooting Palestinians. Since then, every time the residents tried to access their fields, they were met with a combined settler-soldier militia that physically assaulted them, threw gas bombs at them, and kidnapped a few Palestinian farmers to a nearby military base for a few hours of detention. Since the outpost was established, army and settler invasions to Bardala increased, and one time settlers accompanied by army forces even invaded Bardala's school, assaulted people and shot live fire. One of the settlers carrying out the school invasion is Eitan Ze'ev, who is known his activity in the violent outpost "Sde Efrayim", between Kufer Na'ame and Ras Karkar, and on their lands. Over there, 4 years ago, he killed Khaled Nofel, a 34 year old Palestinian, husband and father. Ze'ev was never charged for the killing for claims of "self defence", but Khaled wasn't armed, and was a day before he was suppose to reunite with his wife and child after a long atay in Jordan. Ze'ev is also one of the founders of Havat Dorot outpost on the lands of Bidya. Over there, on July 2020, Ze'ev shot a Palestinian farmer trying to access his lands. He was brought to court and convicted, but never went to prison. Another settler seen invading the school is Shai Eigner. Eigner works in the Jordan Valley settlements' council (meaning - funded directly by Israel) and was seen multiple times invading Palestinian villages, accompanying settlers trying to take over lands, in demolition of Palestinian houses etc. Here he's seen invadinf the village of Nabe3 al ghazal and filming people. The people of Bardala remain steadfast on their lands, but the new outpost threatens to grab immense parts of their lands, the land they work in order to provide their families. The violence of the settlers, and of the army forces protecting it, can have terrible results. The village's call is to remove the illegal outpost and hold Israel accountable for its crimes against them. ## **Timeline of the events** * **On January 2025** Israeli settelrs established a new outpost west of the village, and began expanding and attacking Palestinian citizens under the protection of the occupation army. **On February 5, 2025** Israeli settlers attacked shepherds while they were grazing their livestock west of the village of Bardala in the northern Jordan Valley. Human rights activist Leen Sawafta reported that a number of armed settlers from the colonial outpost west of the village attacked local resident Abdullah Sawafta while he was grazing his livestock in the area. **On April 24, 2025** Journalist and HR activist Andrey reports on Israeli settler mobs’ attack on Bardala village. Israeli settler mobs stormed the village of Bardala, attacking Palestinians and their properties. They invading a watermelon farm and "hacking to pieces" all the melons before they could be harvested. **On June 1, 2025** Israeli settlers from the nearby outpost invade with cows an unharvested wheat field belonging to one of the villagers. Then they assaulted foreign activists and owners of the land. **On June 9, 2025** Israeli occupation forces seized three agricultural tractors while they were operating in Bardala in the northern Jordan Valley. **On June 15, 2025** Israeli settlers were seen assaulting Palestinians who were pinned to the ground, all while soldiers from the occupying army stood by and watched. The settlers had stormed a Palestinian home, after which the army detained four members of the family. They were later released. **On July 3, 2025** During the night, settlers invaded the land of Mohammad Sawafta from Bardala, put fire to his field and destroyed irrigation pipes. Mohammad has been suffering regular attacks on his agriculture throughout the year. **On January 5, 2026** Anwar Jamil Sawafteh, a livestock owner from the village of Bardala, was attacked by a group of settlers while tending his sheep with his son. The settlers initially chased him away and pursued the sheep, attempting to seize them. Fortunately, the sheep escaped, especially since they were only a few meters from their pen. A Palestinian ambulance and other citizens were prevented from reaching him, and he was left bleeding for several hours, particularly due to a head injury. His son, Musab, was arrested by the army and his whereabouts remained unknown until 5pm. It is worth noting that the son was also attacked by a group of settlers about three months ago, sustaining a moderate head injury. According to Jordan Valley Activists, *"this attack comes amidst a fierce campaign against livestock breeders in the northern Jordan Valley, aimed at pressuring them to sell their animals after the settlers seized control of approximately 45,000 acres of grazing land surrounding the village. This campaign seeks to leave the families of these farmers vulnerable to poverty and marginalization, and to force them to abandon their land and their villages"*.

**On January 1st, Israeli army destroyed the house of the prisoner Muhammad Talal Abu Yassin in Bal'a, east of Tulkarm,** who was accused to be one of the perpetrators of the Beit Lid and Bal'a assault against Israeli soldiers. This assault led to the death of an Israeli soldier (Staff Sgt. (res.) Elhanan Ariel Klein) and the injury of of four Border Police officers., on Nov. 2, 2023, at the Beit Lid Junction. - Muhammad Abu Yassin has been in Israeli custody since January 2024. - On December 26, Israeli soldiers posted a demolition order on the wall of their two-story house and attached storage space, which is located in the western neighborhood of the town. - This is the second demolition notice issued to the family in November. The first notice had given the family 72 hours to file an objection, prompting them to evacuate the house in anticipation of the Israeli authorities carrying out the demolition at any time. - Local sources said that about 30 military vehicles and two bulldozers raided Bal’a, in Tulkarem, and surrounded a house in the western district of the town before proceeding Abu Yassin’s family home demolition. - IDF, Shin Bet and Border Police forces carried out this demolition operation overnight on January 1 in the village of Bal’a in the Menashe Brigade area of responsibility. - Israeli authorities have long used to punitively demolish the homes of Palestinians living in occupied territories and accused of carrying out attacks on Occupation forces, a policy that Israel does not apply to Israeli settlers who are involved in fatal attacks against Palestinians. Human rights groups say that is collective punishment and may amount to war crimes. **According to a statement IDF online**, IDF forces, Shin Bet, and Mageb (Border police) operated in the village of Bal'a in the Menashe division and destroyed the "apartment of the terrorist" Muhammad Abu Yassin. **On January 10,** Israeli occupation forces demolished the home, located in the Tulkarm refugee camp, **belonged to the family of Mahmoud Sleit “Abu Hanoud,”** a Palestinian prisoner accused of involvement in the twin operations at Beit Lid and Bal’a in November 2023. This house had previously been partially demolished in September 2024. **Source :** [1](https://www.jns.org/undercover-forces-nab-senior-terrorist-in-nablus-raid/) [2](https://x.com/idfonline/status/1874765860612763808) [3](https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/152937) [4](https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250102-israel-occupation-forces-demolish-detainees-west-bank-home/) [5](https://english.almanar.com.lb/2310673)
