From Jordan Valley Solidarity: Al Farisiya to be razed again

In the morning of Sunday 15th August 2010, the Israeli Civil Administration came to Al Farisiya yet again, with two warning documents stating that people have to leave this so-called ”closed area”.

The two documents don’t state which family they target, which means that any family in the village can be targeted for home demolition, or confiscation of their vehicles or animals.

I will be calling one of the protest organizers later today for an interview.
