A group of settlers was filmed earlier today erecting a fence around Ein al-Hilweh, a small Palestinian community in the northern Jordan Valley.
The fence does not surround all sides of the village, but the residents rely on sheep herding for their livelihood, and the fence will prevent them from accessing grazing areas.
A local source tells The Times of Israel that the fence was set up by two groups of settlers who arrived at the site in recent hours. According to the source, the settlers appeared to be teenage boys.
