On Wednesday afternoon, 21 Feb. 2024, a settler set a herd of about 30 heads of cattle to graze in a grain field belonging to Palestinian farmers in Um Quba, an agricultural area south of Khirbet al-Maleh. The cattle had consumed a large part of the crop by the following afternoon, when residents noticed them and chased them out of the field.
Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations. B’Tselem strives to end this regime, as that is the only way forward to a future in which human rights, democracy, liberty and equality are ensured to all people, both Palestinian and Israeli, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
