As part of the military training that took place in the western Jordan Valley beginning on 25 January 2022, in which troops destroyed dozens of dunams of crops, three cows belonging to a resident of Khirbet Tall al-Himma, were hit by shell fire on 7 February 2022 in Khirbet Jabaris, west of al-Farisiyah, and one died. That day, the Civil Administration issued eviction orders to seven families from the community of Khirbet Ibzik, numbering 45 people, including 23 minors, for three consecutive days (8, 9 and 10 February 2022). On each day, the families were forced to vacate their homes from 8:00 A.M. until 1:00 A.M. the following day.
On Tuesday, 8 February 2022, at around 8:00 A.M., Civil Administration personnel came with a military escort to the community and ordered the residents to leave their homes. The next day, the troops came to the area again, at around 9:30 A.M., and ordered the families to evacuate. On the morning of 10 February 2022, the families vacated their homes before the troops arrived. Each time, the families walked six to eight kilometers after the military forbade Palestinian vehicle traffic in the area and stayed at relatives' homes.
During the evacuation days, infantry and tanks trained in the al-Qa’un area north of Bardalah and fired shells. In addition, the troops destroyed dozens of wheat, onion, corn, beans and chickpea fields, as well as irrigation pipes and agricultural dirt roads.
On the morning of Sunday, 13 February 2022, military forces came to the area west of Hamamat al-Malih, about five kilometers away from the community of al-Burj. The soldiers put up tents there and dozens of them trained in the residents’ fields west of al-Burj and fired live ammunition. In addition, tanks trained in pastureland in the area, forcing the shepherds to keep the flocks in livestock pens.
