Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday evening ordered seven Palestinian families from Um al-Jamal and al-Burj Bedouin communities in the Northern Jordan Valley to evict their homes to make way for military maneuvers.
Local activist Aref Daraghmeh said Israeli forces handed seven Palestinian families notices ordering them to leave their residential structures so that the army can conduct military drills in the area.
The families are to stay away from their homes from 05:00 p.m. on Tuesday till 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
On Monday the Israeli military forced four Palestinian families in Umm al-Jamal to evict their homes under the same guise.
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.
