Israeli forces demolish homes, barn in Jordan Valley

TUBAS (Ma’an) -- Israeli forces raided al-Aqaba village in the West Bank Jordan Valley on Thursday, destroying two houses and a barn.

Soldiers imposed a cordon around the area and denied the media access, a Ma'an correspondent said.

President of the village council Sami Sadek appealed for human rights organizations to intervene to stop Israeli aggression against Palestinians.

A spokesperson from the Israeli Civil Administration in the West Bank could not be reached for comment.
