JORDAN VALLEY, January 8, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists' bulldozers Wednesday began paving a new colonial road on the road connecting Khirbet Tana, east of Nablus, and the central Jordan Valley.

Raed Muqaddadi, a researcher at the Land Research Center, told WAFA that colonists began rehabilitating the road connecting Khirbet Tana and the town of Beit Furik with the central Jordan Valley, a distance of about one and a half kilometers, with the aim of creating a link between the colonial Allon Street and the new colonial outpost that the colonists established after the war on the Gaza Strip on the lands of Khirbet Tana, to serve colonial activities in that area.

Muqaddadi noted that the street that the settlers began rehabilitating was reopened by the occupation in 2020, and an iron gate was erected on it after it was closed since al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000, to serve the movement of its military vehicles between the Jordan Valley, the town of Beit Furik, and Khirbet Tana.

He pointed out that the road has been open for more than 50 years, and farmers used it to move between the Jordan Valley and the town of Beit Furik.
