Description:

Tuesday morning, March 8^th , 2022, the so-called Israeli settlement  Council in the Jordan Valley destroyed three commercial stalls on both sides of road No. 90, next to the villages of Bardala and Ain Al-Bayda in the area of the northern Jordan Valley, under the pretext of threatening the security of the bypass road, according to the claim of the colonists. The owners of these stalls were given orders on 3/3/2022 to remove these stalls as being " illegal". The removal process included confiscating all the contents of the stalls (vegetables and fruits), then destroying the structures of the stalls.

It is important to say here that this attack reflects the intention of the Israeli occupation to give the green light to the Israeli settlement council to impose facts on the ground that increase the suffering of the Palestinians and limit their possibilities to live and survive in that particular area which produces part of the food basket of Palestinian citizens in the West Bank.

During the past years, fields researchers of the Land Research Center documented a large number of attacks in which commercial stalls along this vital road were destroyed or confiscated depriving many Palestinian families of their main income. In the meanwhile, it is un-allowed for Palestinians to invest on both sides of the road that penetrates the occupied Jordan Valley from its south to its north ends and devours hundreds of acres of agricultural land there.
