Israeli soldiers Tuesday seized tractors used by Bedouin residents of the northern areas of the Jordan Valley, according to head of al-Maleh village council Aref Daraghmeh. He said soldiers seized at least two tractors less than a day after they have handed shepherds and farmers in the area demolition notices of several structures used as lodging and animal barns, according to a report of Palestine News and Information Agency "WAFA." The seizure of the tractors aims to prevent access by the local Palestinian residents to the water resources in the area, added Daraghmeh, noting that Israeli authorities previously seized water tanks for the same purpose.
