美联社通过图片评论文章记录了巴勒斯坦牧民在约旦河谷和玛萨费尔亚塔地区与以色列定居点共存的困难现状[1]。根据联合国人道主义机构数据，2026年1月至4月间记录了761起与以色列定居者相关的袭击事件，近2000人因暴力和行动限制而流离失所[1]。定居点扩张和定居者暴力事件激增已深刻改变了当地牧民的生活方式。
62岁的吉卜林·阿布·阿拉姆用一个令人深省的比喻描述了他的处境，说道："你看到监狱里的人吗？我们是一样的，但在我们的房子里"[1]。自2023年10月以色列与哈马斯在加沙的战争开始以来，他无法从自己的土地上收获橄榄[1]。在塔伊贝村附近，肖玛·卡布内赫的家庭在以色列定居点建立在他们家附近后被迫售出了所有羊只[1]。为了保护自己，牧民们被迫组织夜间巡逻，轮流保持警醒，以便在以色列定居者靠近时警告邻居[1]。
Palestinian herders in the Jordan Valley and Masafer Yatta region face mounting hardship as Israeli settler expansion and related violence reshape their livelihoods and daily existence. Between January and April 2026, United Nations humanitarian agencies documented 761 incidents of violence linked to Israeli settlers, displacing nearly 2,000 people due to violence and movement restrictions.[1] The escalating pressures have forced many pastoral families to alter grazing routes, change their way of life, and in some cases abandon herding altogether.
The toll on individual families underscores the severity of the crisis. Giblin Abu Alam, 62, captures the reality in stark terms, stating: "You see people in prison? We are the same, but in our houses."[1] Since the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza in October 2023, Abu Alam has been unable to harvest olives from his land.[1] Near the village of Taiba, the family of Shoma Kabneh sold all their sheep after an Israeli settlement was established adjacent to their home.[1] Facing constant threats, shepherds have resorted to organizing nighttime patrols, taking turns to remain vigilant and alert neighbors when Israeli settlers approach.[1]
