Israeli Forces Halt Construction of Water Well in Northern Jordan Valley Village

NORTHERN JORDAN VALLEY, July 30, 2015 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Thursday morning ordered halting the construction of a water well in Kardala, a village in the northern Jordan Valley near the city of Tubas, said a municipal source.

Mayor of al-Maleh ‘Aref Daraghmeh told WAFA Israeli forces raided Kardala, where they handed him an order to halt the construction of a UNDP-funded water well that has a capacity of 205 cubic meters.

Daraghmeh added this was the second time he received a stop construction order for this well in particular, purportedly for being constructed without proper license.

Khirbet Kardala is a small locality of 800 dunums. It has a population of 121 persons according to ARIJ’s 2006 statistics. The village’s population is mainly involved in agricultural activities.
