Violation: demolishing 9 residential structures, inhabited by around 50 people; 15 barns, incubating 970 goats and 60 cows.
Date: June 21, 2011.
Location: Al Hadidiyyah and Yirza – Tubas Governorate.
Perpetrators: the Israeli Occupation Army.
Victims: Odeh, Bisharat, and Daraghma families.
Details:
On June 21, 2011, Israeli troops accompanied by an army dozer stormed Al Hadidiyyah, located in the heart of the Jordan valley.
The dozer initiated a large-scale demolition that hit a number of tents and shacks besides other properties. It should be mentioned that the nomads residing in Al Hadidiyyah are living a simple and primitive lives and are facing a ruthless enemy who considers terror and destruction a major part in its agenda.
The demolition campaign was preceded by a series of demolition orders entitled ‘a chance to object to a demolition order’.
According to the orders, the Israeli Occupation Authorities provided the residences with a respite till August 8, 2011 to object to the orders that were issued earlier. However, the recent demolitions reflect the Israeli arbitrary measures that respect nothing, not even their own orders and rules.
