TUBAS, April 2, 2006 (WAFA) - Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) continued on Sunday, for the fourth consecutive day, the isolation of al-Aghwar al-Shamaleya area in Jordan Valley in the West Bank (WB).

WAFA reporter said that the Israeli soldiers, positioned at al-Hamra and Tayaseer military checkpoints, closed the two roads that link Tubas and al-Aghwar area and banned the access in-outside the area.

Israel plans to seize and annex al-Aghwar, Jordan Valley, in the West Bank, to its borders to deprive more Palestinians of their own lands and their main and only source of living.
