The interior of the structures were leveled as well for the owners were not given but minutes to vacate.

The targeted families depend on agriculture as their only source of income, taking into consideration that they work as farmers in their vegetables and wheat fields .

First time targeting :

A resident from the area  Mr. Sulaiman Daraghmeh asserted that this is the first time a demolition takes place in the area of al-Makhrouq; this indicates an expansion in the targeted periphery by the occupation against Palestinians in the Palestinian Jordan Valley (al-ghoor).

It should be marked that the notified families were served stop-work orders on December 2014 and on January 2015 as well.

Daraghmeh said that the targeted families have been residing the area since 15 years and that those people work as farmers.
