JORDAN VALLEY, (PIC)-- Bulldozers guarded by Israeli military jeeps leveled early Thursday morning six structures used for agriculture as well as homes in Maleh Valley in northern Jordan Valley.
Wide-ranging demolitions on the homes of shepherds in the Fariseya area in northern Maleh Valley left several families without refuge, said resident Ali Saraya.
The Israeli occupation authorities claimed the structures were built within the limits of a closed military zone, although locals have dwelled in the area for over 40 years.
Palestinians have said the Israeli occupation authorities aim at replacing the Palestinian population with Jewish settlers.
Overnight Wednesday, the Israeli planning and building authority accompanied by soldiers handed over demolition notices against four trade stalls set up near Jalame checkpoint north of the West Bank city of Jenin.
The authorities claim the stalls were built without permit.
The Israeli army seeks to evacuate the entire area near the checkpoint although the market there is actually part of the nearby Palestinian village of Jalame and falls within the limits of the Jenin governorate.
