And it is under his administration, according to the head of the local council of Fasayel village.

The head of the Fasayel village council says: “In recent years, in order to strengthen the Israeli presence and bring large numbers of settlers into the lands of the Jordan Valley villages, the occupation has organized 16 ecological paths, within the Jordan Valley area in the town of Aqraba, south of Nablus, as well as along the Red Valley course in (Fasayel). ), which bore his name on the military site.
big risks

In his interview with "Emirates Today", Moataz Bisharat, the official in charge of the Jordan Valley file in Tubas Governorate, said: "The dangers of military sites, especially (Al-Wad al-Ahmar), are represented in the dangerous military exercises organized by the occupation forces throughout the year, in villages and areas. The Jordan Valley, and between the homes and tents of the Palestinian residents.”
Bisharat continues: “The dangers of military sites continue in the Israeli forces distributing decisions to evacuate the Palestinian residents from their homes and tents, before starting maneuvers, in which live ammunition is used, and which fall within the list of repressive practices used by the occupation to displace the residents of the Jordan Valley, and rob their remaining lands.”
The dangers of the military maneuvers increase after their conclusion, as a result of the live ammunition, bombs, shells and mines left behind, according to Bisharat.
The number of Israeli army camps within the lands of the Jordan Valley is 11 camps, most of which are located in the Jericho Governorate, and the rest separate it from the city of Nablus and cities in the northern West Bank, and the city of Al-Quds Al-Sharif.
