JORDAN VALLEY, January 10, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces today prevented Palestinians from continuing their agricultural work in the Umm al-Qaba plain in the northern Jordan Valley, northeast of the occupied West Bank.
Mehdi Draghmeh, head of the Al-Maleh village council, reported that Israeli forces stopped the farmers from plowing and planting their lands in the area. This is not the first time such actions have taken place; two weeks ago, Israeli forces also barred residents from farming their lands in the same area, following direct incitement by Israeli colonists.
The ongoing restrictions are part of broader efforts to disrupt Palestinian agricultural activities in the Jordan Valley, a region frequently targeted for settlement expansion and land confiscation by Israeli authorities.
