JERICHO (Ma’an) -- Two Israeli bulldozers razed large areas of agricultural lands east of Jericho on Tuesday in the occupied West Bank, the official Palestinian Authority news agency Wafa reported.
Israeli forces closed the area and kept farmers from their fields, according to the report. Bulldozers dug up corn crops and an irrigation network belonging to the Erekat and Deibes families, respectively.
The chairman of the association of Palestinian farmers, Mofaq Jalata, condemned the action and described it as ethnic cleansing. He said Israel was trying to expel farmers from the Jordan Valley.
