Israeli army drills wreak havoc in Bedouin areas of Jordan Valley

Friday 9-December-2016

The Israeli army caused widespread damage to cultivated plots of land and pastures in different Palestinian hamlets of the northern Jordan Valley during the large-scale military drills which it carried out on Thursday.

Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that dozens of dunums of fields in Umm al-Jammal al-Farisiya and Aynoun hamlets sustained damage as a result of the military exercises.

They accused the Israeli army of deliberately driving their armored vehicles over the fields in order to destroy the crops.

The Israeli army had displaced several Bedouin families in different areas of the northern Jordan Valley on Thursday in order to conduct its drills which continued from the morning until the night.

The displacement of civilians firing of live ammunition explosions and road closures that took place during the last two days in this region have not been reported by the Israeli and international media.
