Israeli regional settlement council official and soldiers confiscate tractor used to work Palestinian land in northern Jordan Valley

On Saturday, 3 Dec. 2022, at around 4:00 P.M., a representative of the Jordan Valley regional settlement council came with a military escort to an agricultural plot northeast of the village of al-Hadidiyah and ordered Palestinian farmers who were plowing the land to stop. He also demanded that a village resident who was driving a tractor follow him and the soldiers. When the convoy neared Khallet Makhul, residents blocked the way and entered into an argument with the soldiers that lasted about an hour. The vehicles then continued on their way, with the resident driving the tractor to a nearby military base, where it was confiscated on the grounds it had been used to work land in a closed military zone.
