Thursday 7-February-2019

The Israeli occupation army on Wednesday displaced dozens of Bedouin families in the Jordan Valley at the pretext of carrying out military drills in their area.

Local sources told a reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that a large number of Israeli tanks and heavy military vehicles stormed the areas of al-Ras al-Ahmar al-Mayta al-Burj and Hammamat al-Maleh in the Jordan Valley at dawn and ordered more than 50 impoverished Bedouin families to leave their homes until five o’clock in the evening.

They added that the troops carried out large-scale exercises in the area and destroyed vast tracts of cultivated land.

Every once in a while the Israeli army displace Palestinian Bedouin families in the Jordan Valley in order to carry out drills.
