Israeli forces on Monday evening forcefully expelled five Palestinian families from their homes to carry out military drills in Humsa al-Fawqa village in the northern Jordan Valley.
Local activist Aref Daraghmeh said that Israeli forces raided Khirbet Humsa al-Fawqa village and expelled five families including women and children sending them several kilometers away from their tents to conduct military drills.
Israeli forces had reportedly notified the families about the planned eviction a day earlier ordering them to leave their tent homes and stay away from the area from 06:00 A.M. to 02:00 P.M. on Tuesday when the military drills will take place.
The Israeli occupation authorities continue to exploit the natural resources of the Jordan Valley and to crack down on the Palestinian locals under the guise of military maneuvers.
