JORDAN VALLEY, Monday, February 1, 2021 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation authorities resumed today demolition of Palestinian-owned agricultural structures in Khirbet Humsa al-Fouqa in the northern Jordan Valley, according to a local human rights defender.
Aref Daraghme said an army force raided the community and immediately went on demolishing tents and structures.
Local official, Mutaz Bisharat, also said that the army has destroyed tents owned by three Palestinian families and seized a privately-owned car, as the operation was still ongoing.
Most of the structures in the community were demolished in November of last year in Israel’s efforts to empty the Jordan Valley of its Palestinian residents as it seeks to annex it despite international outcry against the illegal annexation of occupied Palestinian territories.
