NABLUS, June 6, 2012 (WAFA) – Around 20 Palestinian families spent Tuesday night in the open fields after they were ordered by the Israeli army to leave their homes in the Jordan Valley under the pretext the army wants to hold military training in the area, according to a local official.
Aref Daraghme, head of Wadi al-Maleh village council, said on Wednesday that around 200 young and old Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and sleep in the open fields while the Israeli army conducted intensive military exercises using heavy artillery in the vicinity of their residences.
The families have not been yet allowed to return to their homes, added Daraghme.
