Head of al-Maleh village council, Aref Daraghmeh, said Israeli soldiers and bulldozers arrived in the area and demolished around 25 residential structures, most made of tinplates, and animal barns. Daraghmeh said the demolition left around five Palestinian families homeless. Israeli army and police have repeatedly vandalized Palestinian residencies in the Jordan valley under the pretext of construction without permission … Israel has heavily invested in transferring the Jordan Valley into a completely Israeli area, primarily in agriculture, targeting to ban territorial contiguity between a future Palestinian state and the rest of the Arab world. To this end, tens of settlements and agricultural outposts have been established by Israel in the Valley, which makes up about one-third of the total area of the occupied West Bank.
