Bedouin herders in the occupied West Bank are facing increasing pressure from Jewish settlers who are encroaching on their land and stealing their livestock. A recent report by the United Nations humanitarian agency OCHA found that nearly half of the documented settler attacks targeted Bedouin and herding communities. Israeli settlements are considered illegal under international law, but the Israeli government has been expanding them throughout the West Bank. Settlers have used shepherding outposts to seize large amounts of land, leaving the Bedouin communities vulnerable and struggling to make a living. The herders are facing harassment, violence, and theft from the settlers, who are supported by the Israeli government.
