Families evicted from Bedouin community in northern Jordan Valley

WEST BANK — Twenty families were evicted from the Ras al-Ahmar Bedouin community in the northern Jordan Valley, according to a Telegram post by Al Jazeera Arabic on 20 October 2026.

The post cites Al-Baidar, a human rights organisation, which said Israeli forces had expelled the 20 families. The post carries the headline "urgent" and was published without further details. Zenga News has not independently confirmed the figure or the circumstances of the eviction.

The source material contains no statement from Israeli authorities, no comment from the families and no information on where the families have moved. It does not say whether any people were hurt or whether property was demolished. The source does not give the number of people affected beyond the count of families.

Al-Baidar is listed in the post as the organisation making the claim. The post does not describe any legal basis for the eviction or any court order.

Background

The Ras al-Ahmar community is a Bedouin encampment in the northern Jordan Valley, an area of the occupied West Bank. The source material does not provide further history of the community or of previous eviction orders in the area.

Evictions of Bedouin and herding communities in parts of the West Bank have been reported by rights groups and United Nations bodies in recent years. The source material for this report does not include those reports, and this article does not rely on them.
