- Date: April 25, 2018
- Perpetrators: Planning and Construction Committee- Israel Civil Administration
- Victims: 5 Palestinian families
Details:
The village of Fasayil, north Jericho governorate has been witnessing a new occupational plan that aims at displacing and deporting indigenous residents in a step to empty the Palestinian Jordan valley (al-Ghoor) for the favor of the colonial expansion.
The so-called Planning and Construction Committee- Israel Civil Administration on April 25, 2018 raided the area of Fasayil and delivered three military orders of stop-work for three families. The orders gave the targeted owners a deadline until May 14, 2018 to complete all licensing procedures. This comes in time with hearing session of the Planning and Construction Committee- Israel Civil Administration in the Israeli court of Beit El to consider the stats of the notified structures.
In addition, the force delivered three "final demolition orders" for three families with a three day deadline to object to the orders.

About Fasayil AL-Wusta:
The area of Fasayil Al-Wusta is reported to repeatedly witness raids by Israel occupation army. Noteworthy, this Bedouin community is located nearby many Bedouin communities that are not recognized by the occupation.
Over the past five years, more than nine demolitions were carried out in the community, not mentioning that the whole community is notified of demolition. It has a population of 1258 (according to Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics in 2013). It is surrounded by a number of illegal Israeli colonies that limit the expansion of the village and deprive its inhabitants from having a normal life.
From the north, Fasayil is surrounded by colonies of Yafit and Pezael (Fezael), Tomer and Gilgal and Netiv Hagedud from the south in addition to a bypass that links the northern colonies with the southern ones.
The residents of Fasayil hail from Beersheba where they were displaced in 1948. The clans of Arab Al-Zayid , Aal-Kheirbish and Aal I’bayyat headed to south Hebron then to the Palestinian Jordan Valley to face the terror and brutality of the occupation everywhere they went.
Life of Bedouin people is characterized by simplicity where people reside in tents and live off of livestock.
