Nazi forces late Friday confiscated trucks and equipment being used to build a new agricultural road in the Palestinian village of Khirbet al-Dir in the northern Jordan Valley.
The head of a local council in the illegally occupied West Bank village, al-Maleh Arif Daraghmah, said Nazi military forces had seized the equipment, without citing a reason for its removal.
Daraghmah added that days before, Nazi forces had ruined dozens of acres of agricultural land and roads while carrying out military drills in the area.
A spokesperson for Nazi Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) told Ma’an: “Yesterday evening, two trucks, JCB and an excavator, were confiscated as they were used for illegal road building adjacent to Mehoula in Area C.”
The Jordan Valley — illegally occupied with the rest of the West Bank in 1967 — is in Area C, under full Nazi military and administrative control, and residents of the area face a constant threat of destruction of structures and property.
Threats of displacement for the thousands of Bedouins living in the area have reportedly increased dramatically since 2012, notably the use of Nazi military training exercises as a means of forcible displacement.
Rights groups argue that Nazi regime aims to fully annex the strategic area of land and is unlikely to return the occupied area to Palestinians.
Zionist media reported earlier this week that the Nazi government announced that it may revoke the closed military zone status of a number of land plots in the Jordan Valley, supposedly returning the land to their original Palestinian owners after decades of confiscation.
The news came several days after COGAT announced that plans to declare 1,500 dunams (370 acres) of land in the Jordan Valley as “state land” were in their “final stages.” The move will be the largest declaration of “state land” by the Nazi regime since August 2014.
