Palestinians on horseback watch as an Israeli tank is carried toward the ‘live-fire zone’ in the Jordan Valley, West Bank, December 8, 2016
Ninety-one Palestinians in the Jordan Valley were forced to leave their homes while the army trained near their homes. Military officials have previously admitted that ‘firing zones’ are being used to expel Palestinians from areas of the West Bank.
For the past week, the Israeli army has been training in areas designated “firing zones” in the Jordan Valley, in the northeastern edge of the West Bank. As a result dozens of families belonging to the A-Ras al-Ahmar community, as well as three families from Khirbet Humsa — a total of 91 people, of them 15 children — were made to leave their homes midday. An additional hundred families living in various communities in the northern Jordan Valley, adjacent to the firing zones, were given military orders forbidding them to leave the areas around their homes or graze their sheep in the nearby hills during training days.
Evacuating civilians from their homes for the purpose of military training is a contravention of international humanitarian law. Israel, as the occupying power, is not allowed to use occupied territory for military purposes.
This is not the first time the Israeli army holds training exercises in populated areas of the Jordan Valley. In fact, members of the A-Ras al-Ahmar and Khirbet Humsa communities are forced to evacuate their homes every few months under the same pretext. According to statistics provided by Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem, families from A-Ras al-Ahmar had been evacuated eight different times in 2015, while families from Khirbet Humsa were evacuated 19 times in the same year due to military training exercises.

Palestinians look on at an army training exercise in the Jordan Valley, West Bank, December 8, 2016.
On Thursday, the final day of the training, Ali Beni Odeh, a resident of A-Ras al-Ahmar told +972 Magazine that every time the army arrives for training, the community must evacuate and leave their livestock in enclosures by the tent encampments by themselves.
The families’ inability to work their land or tend to their animals while they are at pasture means their livelihoods take a significant hit. “We leave without anything, only with the clothes on our backs, and stay away for hours without anything, without any provisions. We cannot even go to our homes to bring water.”
They carry few supplies by foot, since the army confiscated their tractor before the training was set to start. Just in the past two months the army confiscated 10 tractors from families in the A-Ras al-Ahmar community. “This is the only area we have,” says Ali. “If we had somewhere to go we would, but if we leave here we will have to sell our livestock.” This past January, the army attempted to evacuate 10 families from a-Ras al-Ahmar, yet weather conditions prevented them from doing so.
This, however, did not stop soldiers from training adjacent to the camp, who damaged agricultural land and the main access road to the village. “This great affects us, especially the children. They have nightmares. They cry in their sleep. They are afraid of the trainings because of their proximity. What will we do… our lives are difficult,” Ali tells me.

A ‘new’ routine
An ice cream truck parks in the IDF firing zone, Jordan Valley, West Bank, December 8, 2016
An ice cream truck passes between the soldiers who walk around during their breaks, while the Palestinians who were not forced from their homes watch as tanks pass by their homes. “They didn’t cause us any trouble,” one of them tells me, “they just told us not to walk around or take the sheep beyond the area of the house this week.”
Eighty-eight percent of the Jordan Valley, which makes up more than a fourth of the West Bank, is defined as Area C, which means it falls under full Israeli military control. Nearly every place Palestinians in the Jordan Valley can move to is settlement territory, a nature reserve, or a firing zone, severely restricting their movement and ability to build a home. It means living under a regime in which most things are off limits.
The approximately 2,700 Palestinians living in 20 small communities have been living in what the military has termed “live-fire zones” since the 1970s. In 2009 the army began systematically placing dozens of concrete roadblocks around these communities, designating the territory an firing zone where entrance is forbidden. By 2012 the evacuation of families from these areas became more commonplace — today it has become a routine.
Traces of Israeli forces remained in the area even after the army left. B’Tselem researcher A’araf Drarma reported that 500 dunam of agricultural land, used mostly for growing corn, was left in ruins. The training exercises on the land pose a risk to the lives of the residents due to duds left in the area.
A struggle against illegal construction?

A struggle against illegal construction?
In 2014 Haaretz journalist Amira Hass published an article which revealed how the army had been increasingly conducting training in the Jordan Valley and other areas of the West Bank as a means of decreasing the number of Palestinian residents there, as well as to combat illegal construction. Hass published the protocol of a closed-door Knesset committee meeting during which Col. Einav Shalev, operations officer of Central Command, argued before the committee that the desire to fight against illegal construction is one of the main reasons that the IDF had been increasing its training in the West Bank:
I think that one of the positive processes that can slip through our fingers is the return of firing zones to a places they are supposed to be yet are not there. This is one of the main reasons that the military establishment conducts many trainings in the Jordan Valley. That is, anyone who looks at the last division training with fighter jets, helicopters and tanks that used artillery, etc… We are now introducing an additional division training in this area…in places where we significantly reduced the amount of training, weeds have grown. This is something that should be taken into consideration.
It’s enough to look at Ali Beni Odeh and his family to understand the effectiveness of military training as a means of creating pressure on the Palestinian residents. A shepherd who cannot herd, destroyed agricultural land, and confiscated tools only make it more difficult for the local population, which largely lives off land and livestock, to survive.

A new settlement outpost built near the West Bank settlement of Mehola, Jordan Valley, December 8, 2016
Col. Shalev also told the committee that he makes no distinction between Jews and Palestinians. But the reality on the ground actually does make that distinction. It is unsurprising, for instance, that not one of the 39 settlements or outposts scattered across the Jordan Valley has been affected by the training.
In fact, around the time that these communities were evacuated, settlers built a small outpost adjacent to the settlement of Mehola. The caravan and animal pen, both of which were erected several months ago, are likely to expand, as indicated by a small garden that was recently planted, along with a pile of beds and pieces of furniture.

Israeli soldiers opened fire, on Saturday morning, at several homes, and into farmlands, east of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Eyewitnesses said the soldiers, stationed on military towers across the border fence, fired dozens of live rounds at homes, and lands, in Khuza’a neighborhood, east of Khan Younis.
They added that the attack caused property damage, but did not lead to casualties.
The attack is part of daily Israeli violations against the Palestinians, their homes and lands, in different parts of the besieged Gaza Strip, especially in areas close to the border fence, in addition to frequent attacks targeting fishermen and their boats, in Palestinian waters.

Dozens of Palestinians suffered from tear gas inhalation Friday when Israeli troops invaded the village of Beit Ummar, near Hebron, and fired tear gas canisters.
The soldiers invaded the town with armored vehicles, jeeps, and numerous soldiers armed with automatic weapons. According to local sources, the soldiers pointed their weapons at children and shouted at village youth in Hebrew.
When some children remained on the street, Israeli troops fired tear gas canisters directly at them, causing dozens of children and adults to suffer from tear gas inhalation.
Most were treated on-site by medics from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, who were called to the scene by local residents, and arrived in the center of town with an ambulance equipped with oxygen and other lifesaving equipment.
Following the initial assault by Israeli forces, local sources reported that some teen boys and young men began to throw stones at the soldiers’ vehicles, shouting at them to “Get out of our town”.
Israeli forces have frequently invaded Beit Ummar, as Israeli settlements encroach closer onto village land, and the route of the Israeli Annexation Wall snakes through land confiscated from Palestinian villagers just outside the village.
The Israeli military has engaged in dozens of raids on Palestinian villages in recent weeks, with the invasions reaching a peak in the two week period prior to November 29th, in which 252 raids were carried out in just 14 days.
Beit Ummar has also been the site of frequent non-violent demonstrations against the Israeli Annexation Wall and settlements. These demonstrations are consistently met with violence from Israeli forces.

Israeli soldiers assaulted dozens of Palestinian, and international activists, participating in a peaceful procession on Palestinian orchards in Turmus Ayya town, east of Ramallah, marking the second anniversary of the death of government minister, Ziad Abu Ein, who was killed by the army.
The soldiers assaulted the peaceful protesters while planting olive trees and marching for liberty and independence, and fired gas bombs at them, causing many to suffer the severe effects of teargas inhalation.
Ramallah governor, Laila Abu Ghannam, said the Palestinians will continue their struggle for freedom and independence, despite the escalating Israeli violations.
She added that when Israel cleared the soldier who killed Aby Ein, it sent a direct message as an extremist fanatic government, and that it’s so-called justice system is just a front for this illegal occupation.
“They are going down in history boobs as murderers,” she said, “Our people will never quit this legitimate struggle for liberty, justice and independence.”

“We want to live in peace, we don’t want our children to continue being killed by the soldiers,” the minister stated, “Our resistance and determinations echo our struggle around the world.”
On his part, Waleed Assaf, the head of the Committee against the Waal and Colonies, said resistance is the strategic choice to end this illegal Israeli occupation, and added that all international laws and treaties guarantees the right of occupied nations to fight their oppressors and invaders.
The Minister’s brother, Mahmoud Abu Ein, said the Palestinians who were killed by the Israeli army are the bridges for freedom, and called for ongoing struggle.
He added that Ziad was repeated abducted, tortured and imprisoned by Israel, and was an influential figure on the local, regional and international levels.

The Israeli army caused widespread damage to cultivated plots of land and pastures in different Palestinian hamlets of the northern Jordan Valley during the large-scale military drills which it carried out on Thursday.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that dozens of dunums of fields in Umm al-Jammal, al-Farisiya and Aynoun hamlets sustained damage as a result of the military exercises.
They accused the Israeli army of deliberately driving their armored vehicles over the fields in order to destroy the crops.
The Israeli army had displaced several Bedouin families in different areas of the northern Jordan Valley on Thursday in order to conduct its drills, which continued from the morning until the night.
The displacement of civilians, firing of live ammunition, explosions and road closures that took place during the last two days in this region have not been reported by the Israeli and international media.

The Israeli army on Thursday displaced 13 Bedouin families living in different areas of the northern Jordan Valley at the pretext of conducting large-scale military drills.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that Israeli army officers ordered on Wednesday three families in Hemsa al-Fawqa hamlet in the northern Jordan Valley to leave their homes the next day from 10:30 am to 05:00 pm due to military exercises.
10 other Bedouin families were also told to evacuate homes on the same day in Ras al-Ahmar hamlet near Tamun for the same reason.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army closed yesterday the Tubas-Jordan Valley road and deployed several military in the area as part of preparations for the drills.
Israel’s racist policy in the Jordan Valley turns vast areas into military training fields and treats the Palestinian natives living there as beings having no rights.
Israel chooses training grounds selectively. Training never takes place close to settlements in the Jordan Valley in order to avoid putting Jewish settlers in danger or disrupt their lives.

Israeli navy gunboats on Thursday morning attacked Palestinian fishermen sailing off Gaza’s northern coast with heavy spates of machinegun fire.
A PIC news reporter said the Israeli gunboats cordoned off Palestinian fishing boats at sea and targeted the fishermen with randomly-unleashed barrages of gunfire.
No injuries were reported in the attack.
Fishing is the sole source of income for 4,000 Palestinian fishermen in the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Israel allows Gazans to set sail within a three-nautical-mile zone only, which does not meet the needs of the fishermen whose survival and their families largely hinges on fishing.

Israeli plain-clothes soldiers kidnapped some Palestinian teenagers during violent clashes on Wednesday evening at the entrance to Shuafat refugee camp in central Jerusalem.
Local sources said that skirmishes between local young men and soldiers took place near the Israeli military post, which is located at the entrance to the camp.
They added that the soldiers fired volleys of tear gas and stun grenades at the young men, who showered the military checkpoint with stones.
The events started after a large number of troops stormed the camp and carried out raids on homes.
In separate incidents, Israeli forces stormed on the same day al-Ram town in northeastern Jerusalem and Jabal Mukaber neighborhood in the city and clashed with local young men.
There is still no information if the soldiers arrested young men during the events.
