Wednesday, January 28, 2026, 9:36 Near Ro’i, a Jewish farming community in the Jordan Valley, residents noticed a suspicious figure wandering around their cattle-grazing pasture land. As they approached, they identified the figure as an Israeli anarchist and saw that she was scattering something on the ground. The residents filmed her – see video below – and she left the site.
After she left, the residents discovered dozens of dates laced with a poisonous substance scattered on the pasture land where the anarchist had wandered. They immediately filed a complaint with the police, who detained the anarchist, interrogated her, and then conditionally released her.
Yesterday, two other farming communities in the Jordan Valley reported poisoning in their pasture lands, and the death of sheep and birds. They also filed complaints with the police. Honenu is assisting the communities, and attorneys from the Terror Victims Department are representing farmers who were directly harmed.
Honenu Attorney Chayim Bleicher, who is representing the farmers who filed the complaints, issued a statement: “Radical left-wing activists have started carrying out mass poisoning of livestock, which also endangers people, especially children, who could come into contact with the poison.
“We have always warned about the dangerous activities of anarchists, including their incitement to acts of terror. The anarchists are endangering human lives, injuring livestock and possibly causing an ecological disaster endangering migrating birds.
“We call on the security forces, the GSS, and the law-enforcement authorities to immediately detain and prosecute the anarchists who attacked Jewish farming communities. Any detainees must also be served with restraining orders.”
