Tuesday 22-November-2016

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have carried out large-scale maneuvers in the northern Jordan Valley forcing Palestinians out of their homes for the second day running.

A PIC news correspondent said Israeli army patrols and military tanks have been deployed across Tubas and the northern Jordan Valley.

Rounds of military drills have been carried out by the IOF near civilian homes sparking panic in the area.

Speaking with PIC activist Ibrahim Daraghma from Yarza town in Tubas said the Israeli soldiers have scoured the area all the way through the drills and turned it into a shooting trial field.

The drills blocked the movement of Palestinian vehicles and passengers out of and into the area.

A few days earlier the IOF ordered the Palestinian inhabitants to evacuate their homes from Monday morning to Tuesday afternoon for military maneuvers.
