<div class="field field-field-text"><p data-end="92" data-start="0">Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian residents in the Tel Samadi area of Jiftlik, north of Jericho, on Friday, in another incident of settler violence across the occupied Jordan Valley.</p>
<p data-end="673" data-start="321">Eid Brahmeh, director of the Prisoner Club in Jericho and the Jordan Valley, told Wafa that settlers assaulted members of the Kaabneh family, severely beating them before Israeli occupation forces moved into the area. Soldiers then arrested Hassan Salem Kaabneh and Musa Awda Kaabneh, targeting the victims rather than those who carried out the attack.</p>
<p data-end="900" data-start="675">Separately, Israeli forces issued demolition notices to residents in Jiftlik, signalling further displacement. Those notified include Amer Muhammad Hassan Jahalin, Bahaa Hassan Muhammad Jahalin and Bassam Mahmoud Ali Masa’id.</p>
<p data-end="1139" data-is-last-node data-is-only-node data-start="902">The combined use of settler violence, military arrests and home demolitions reflects Israel’s entrenched policy of coercion in the Jordan Valley, aimed at forcing Palestinians from their land and entrenching illegal settlement expansion.</p>
