Mr Mahdi Daraghma, head of Al-Malih village council told LRC the following:
“During the past few years, many attacks targeting herds in the Jordan Valley were reported, including stealing heads of sheep or cows and blackmailing herders for money to get them back. the occupation forces also leave Military Trainings leftovers in postures, many sheep were poisoned or killed in expulsions after walking over an explosive body.”
Cattle breeding is a main source of income for a large number of families at the Jordan Valley, and targeting this sector by the Israeli Occupation forces and colonists worsened the economical situation, and deprived residents from their right to a decent life at the plot they inherited from their fathers.
