A Palestinian citizen was arrested by Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday after he was violently assaulted by Israeli settlers in the northern Jordan Valley.
Israelis residing in a settlement outpost built on Palestinian land in the northern Jordan Valley attacked Palestinian shepherds in the presence of Israeli soldiers.
Local activist Mootaz Besharat said Palestinian citizen Ahmad Daraghmeh was arrested by Israeli forces in the area.
Human rights institutions have warned that such crackdowns make part of an Israeli scheme aiming to force Palestinians out of the area in favor of illegal settlement expansion.
