Zionist forces conduct massive military exercises in occupied Jordan Valley

The Zionist army has on Sunday morning begun large-scale military exercises in the northern Jordan Valley, which are expected to continue for a week, activists said.

On Saturday, the occupation informed residents of several areas in the Jordan Valley to evacuate their homes under the pretext of military exercises between their houses.

Human rights and law activist Arif Draghma said the enemy has notified many families to evacuate al-Burj and al-Maytah areas for military training this week.

The Zionist authorities have notified many families in different areas of the Jordan Valley of the evacuation during the past period, he said, as they conduct extensive training in the area.

Last month, Zionist authorities seized large amounts of mostly pastoral land in Palestine, for the sake of using their natural reserves, in one of the largest takeovers of territory recently.

Since its occupation of the West Bank in 1967, the Zionist authorities have sought to annex and Judaize the entire valley, which is located on a huge reservoir of water.

The Jordan Valley is the food basket of Palestine, and is the most affected area by the annexation project, which devours massive amounts of agricultural land.

The year 2020 has been described as the peak year in Zionist construction plans in illegal Zionist settlements in the West Bank and the Jordan Valley, particularly in isolated areas.
