Jerusalem: Israeli occupation forces on Thursday issued an order to confiscate lands in the northern Jordan Valley, local sources reported. Mahdi Daraghmeh, head of the Al-Maleh Village Council, stated that the order targets land registered in the official property registry in the Khirbet al-Hadid area, though the exact size of the confiscated plots was not specified.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, Daraghmeh added that Israeli authorities continue to use various pretexts to justify the seizure of additional Palestinian-owned lands in the northern Jordan Valley, intensifying concerns among local communities about ongoing dispossession.
The Jordan Valley, home to tens of thousands of Palestinians, has long been a focus of Israeli settlement expansion and land confiscation.
