JORDAN VALLEY, Tuesday, April 28, 2020 (WAFA) – The Israeli army today ordered a Palestinian resident of the village of Bardala in the occupied northern Jordan Valley to stop building his home under the pretext it is being built without a permit, according to a local activist.

The army ordered Jamal Rashaydeh to stop work on his 150-square-meter house in Bardala and gave him until May 12 to do so, said Aref Daraghme, a human rights defender.

Palestinians fear Israel seeks to restrict their presence in the occupied Jordan Valley as a prelude to annexing it.
