On Tuesday, vast areas of Palestinian grazing and farmlands were burnt when the Israeli army used them and surrounding lands for live-fire military training in the Northern Plains of the Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank.
Mo’taz Bisharat, a Palestinian official monitoring Israel’s illegal colonialist activities in Tubas governorate, said the Israeli military conducted the training in Jabaris, Khallet Al-Bad, and Al-Maleh areas.
Bisharat added that the army caused fires in large grazing lands and farmlands planted with various crops.
The Israeli army conducts these military drills, using live fire, shells, and explosives, several times a year in the Jordan Valley, Hebron, Tubas, and other areas of the West Bank, displacing Bedouin communities, causing large areas to burn, devastating entire seasons and inflicting serious losses on the farmers and the shepherds, and also in some cases inflicting casualties, including fatalities.
