Israeli occupation seizes 1,042 dunums in Tubas, Jordan Valley

WEST BANK, Nov. 23 (YPA) -Israeli occupation authorities have seized a total of 1,042 dunums of Palestinian land in the northern Jordan Valley through nine seizure orders for military purposes targeting the towns of Tammoun, Tayasir, Tallouza, and the city of Tubas.

The Wall and Settlement Resistance Authority revealed that the orders aim to construct a horizontal road extending from the village of Ein Shibli in the south to the village of Al-Aqaba in the north, with a total length of 22 kilometres.

Moayyad Shaaban, head of the authority, explained that although the nine orders appear separate in numbering and location, when their boundaries are combined on a map, they form a single project for a wide road passing through large agricultural and residential areas.

The road also encircles the Khirbet Yarza, a hamlet east of Tubas, preventing residents from accessing grazing lands on the eastern plains, which span tens of thousands of dunams.
