Israeli Army Launches Military Maneuvers in Jordan Valley

JORDAN VALLEY, December 5, 2011 (WAFA) – The Israeli army Monday launched large-scale military training maneuvers in the northern Jordan Valley, east of the West Bank, according to local sources.

Head of Al-Maleh village council, Aref Daraghmeh, told WAFA that convoys of tanks and hundreds of Israeli soldiers spread in several areas for the military exercise, while the Israeli army shut off large areas in the Jordan Valley as “closed military zones.”

In addition, heavy artillery engaged in the training as bombardment continued around the grazing fields since dawn, he added.

Israeli maneuvers usually result in the burning of wide areas of grazing fields.
