Forced displacement in Atuf
Three Palestinian families were forced to dismantle their homes and tents in the Atuf area, southeast of Tubas, and flee to another location after escalating settler violence in the northern Jordan Valley, according to local reporting.
“Wed 11-March-2026 Tuesday 10-March-2026 TUBAS, (PIC) Three Palestinian families were forced to dismantle their homes and tents in the Atuf area, southeast of Tubas, and leave for another place due to growing settler attacks in the northern Jordan Valley”
The Palestinian Information Center described the families as having been compelled to "dismantle their homes and tents in the Atuf area, southeast of Tubas, and leave for another place due to growing settler attacks in the northern Jordan Valley."
This account situates the event within a pattern of intensified settler aggression in the area on 10 March 2026.
Official attribution of cause
Local official Moataz Bisharat is quoted as directly attributing the displacement to "extremist Jewish settlers" whose attacks and threats forced families in eastern Atuf to dismantle their structures and tents.
The PIC report records Bisharat saying the three families "dismantled their structures and tents in the eastern part of Atuf after extremist Jewish settlers escalated their attacks and threats against them," making the link between settler intimidation and the immediate uprooting explicit.
Pattern of ongoing attacks
The PIC places the Atuf incident within a wider surge of displacement across the northern Jordan Valley, reporting that "in recent weeks, several Palestinian families have been displaced from herding communities around Tubas and in the northern Jordan Valley, amid escalating settler attacks that continue around the clock."
“Wed 11-March-2026 Tuesday 10-March-2026 TUBAS, (PIC) Three Palestinian families were forced to dismantle their homes and tents in the Atuf area, southeast of Tubas, and leave for another place due to growing settler attacks in the northern Jordan Valley”
That wording stresses that the Atuf expulsions are not isolated but part of sustained pressure on pastoral communities in the area.
Immediate human impact
The human consequences are immediate: families lost shelter and were compelled to abandon their homes and tents, uprooting livelihoods tied to herding and small-scale structures.
The PIC report documents that the families "dismantled their structures and tents in the eastern part of Atuf" and "leave for another place," highlighting the tangible material and social losses inflicted by sustained settler violence.
Settler coercion pattern
The PIC account frames the actions of "extremist Jewish settlers" as the proximate cause of the expulsions and situates the Atuf dismantling within a broader trend of round-the-clock settler attacks that are displacing pastoral communities in the northern Jordan Valley.
“Wed 11-March-2026 Tuesday 10-March-2026 TUBAS, (PIC) Three Palestinian families were forced to dismantle their homes and tents in the Atuf area, southeast of Tubas, and leave for another place due to growing settler attacks in the northern Jordan Valley”
The report thereby highlights an acute pattern of settler-led coercion driving Palestinian displacement on 10 March 2026.
