The Israeli army on Thursday displaced 13 Bedouin families living in different areas of the northern Jordan Valley at the pretext of conducting large-scale military drills.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that Israeli army officers ordered on Wednesday three families in Hemsa al-Fawqa hamlet in the northern Jordan Valley to leave their homes the next day from 10:30 am to 05:00 pm due to military exercises.
10 other Bedouin families were also told to evacuate homes on the same day in Ras al-Ahmar hamlet near Tamun for the same reason.
Meanwhile the Israeli army closed yesterday the Tubas-Jordan Valley road and deployed several military in the area as part of preparations for the drills.
Israel’s racist policy in the Jordan Valley turns vast areas into military training fields and treats the Palestinian natives living there as beings having no rights.
Israel chooses training grounds selectively. Training never takes place close to settlements in the Jordan Valley in order to avoid putting Jewish settlers in danger or disrupt their lives.
