Jerusalem24 – Israeli occupation authorities ordered today a number of Palestinian families in the Bedouin village of Ibziq, in the northern Jordan Valley region in the occupied West Bank, to leave their homes to make way for Israeli military training in the area.
Muataz Besharat, who monitors Israeli violations in the area, said that Israeli army handed notices to a number of Bedouin families in the village ordering them to leave their homes for four days next week in order to make way for the training.
The Jordan Valley forms a third of the occupied West Bank, with 88 percent of its land classified as Area C, under full Israeli military and civil control.
However, when military training takes place, Israel forces families to leave their homes for hours or days at a time until the drill is over.
