JORDAN VALLEY, February 5, 2013 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Tuesday handed 10 Palestinian families demolition notices of their homes in the Jordan Valley, said an official.

Aref Daragmeh, head of Wadi al-Maleh village council, told WAFA that the Israeli soldiers informed the families living in Wadi al-Maleh, Ein Hilwa, and Al-Hammamat to leave their homes because they want to them.

This is not the first time these families, which are mainly children, women and elderly, have been forced to leave their homes to make room for army training, said Daragmeh.

He pointed out that last month the demolitions in Al-Hammamat area were very hard and brutal on residents, especially in this cold weather.

Israel wants to empty the Jordan Valley, which makes around 40% of the West Bank area, from its Palestinian inhabitants aiming to take over the land and eventually annex it to Israel.
