JORDAN VALLEY, February 6, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli soldiers Monday stopped work on a European Union-funded road in the northern Jordan Valley and confiscated a vehicle and three drills workers were using to open the road, according to local sources.
Muataz Bsharat, who monitors Israeli violations in the area, told WAFA Israeli soldiers stopped work on a European Union-funded project to open a road connecting the villages of Bardala and Kherbit Ibzeeq, east of Tubas, and confiscated three drills the workers were using and a vehicle.
