Demolition orders in Khirbet Samra

Three family homes in Khirbet Samra received demolition orders from the Israeli army this week. The families were given the orders on Tuesday and given three days to appeal or the demolitions would go ahead.

Israeli army continue to harrass local Palestinian farmers.

Yassir and his family (including 8 children) have been living during the spring time in Khirbet Samra,  Jordan Valley, since 2006. At 8.30 pm yesterday evening the Israeli army came to his home claiming to be looking for terrorists from Nablus who they said they knew were staying with him.  Despite his insistence that only his family were there they made everyone leave the tents and requested to see the ID papers of all of the family, including his terrifed young children.
