The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) demolished on Tuesday a number of Palestinian facilities in the northern Jordan Valley near Tubas city.
Moataz Bsharat who is in charge of the affairs of the northern Jordan Valley in Tubas said that the IOA’s vehicles razed more than 13 Palestinian facilities in a number of villages under the pretext of building without a permit.
Bsharat said in a press statement that the demolished facilities included tents for accommodation and others for sheep breeding belonging to two Palestinian families.
He pointed out that the IOA had recently escalated demolitions and distributed many demolition notices in the northern Jordan Valley within an Israeli plan to evict the Palestinian citizens from their lands.
According to international and humanitarian institutions the continued Israeli harassment against the Palestinian families in the Jordan Valley either through demolitions or evictions for military exercises are part of an Israeli scheme targeting the area and aiming to evacuate its residents because it is considered a vital and strategic area on the agricultural and military levels.
