Jewish settlers on Monday morning used land belonging to Palestinians in the northern Jordan Valley through their frigates.

According to human rights activist Aref Daraghmeh, Jewish settlers were working on the land of Palestinian citizens in the village of Khirbet  "al-Mazmukh " In the Jordan Valley on Sunday morning.

He added that the settlers had ploughed the land and had used a bulldozer to help them pave other lands.

Settlers living in settlements near the Jordan Valley are preventing Palestinians from reaching their lands and surroundings to do farming or grazing sheep and cattle.

The occupation is based on several measures aimed at the Palestinian presence in the Jordan Valley, by restricting its population and pressuring them to displace them, as a vital and strategic area in the agricultural and military areas.
