Israeli occupation forces on Monday evening ordered four Palestinian families in Um al-Jamal a small Bedouin village in the Northern Jordan Valley to evict their homes to make way for military maneuvers.
Local human rights sources said Israeli forces handed four Palestinian families notices ordering them to leave their residential structures so that the army can conduct military drills in the area.
The locals said it is extremely difficult for whole families including children to be evacuated on such a short notice. With no properly arranged place to stay in they must find a way to ensure shelter food and drink away from home in the intense grueling heat of the Jordan Valley.
The frequent evacuations carried out by the Israeli military across the occupied territories force residents to put their lives on hold. Left-behind ammunition and bombs have led to the death of scores of Palestinians over the past years.
