IDF evicts Palestinian villagers for military exercise - Israel News, Ynetnews
Several hundred Bedouins evicted from village in Jordan valley area in West Bank; area declared 'closed military zone,' journalists denied entry
Israeli soldiers evicted several hundred Bedouins from a village in the West Bank on Monday after the army declared the area a live-fire training zone.
The residents of Wadi al-Maleh, a village mostly inhabited by shepherds in the arid area bordering Jordan, had almost all left their homes by an evening curfew and retreated to neighboring villages, Aref Daraghmeh, a local leader, told Reuters.
The displacement coincided with several demolitions of Arab properties in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, which come as the United States is trying to revive stalled peace.
In January, villagers received a similar eviction order and left without resisting, only to return after 48 hours. Almost all of their 90 buildings, including shelters for their animals, were demolished in 2010, local rights groups said.
Israeli soldiers prevented outsiders, including journalists, from entering the area, saying it was a "closed military zone".

IDF(Israeli Destruction Forces) doing what they do best.....stealing land under the disguise of military exercises. This is how the occupation continues and no one can stop it unless a resistance is formed. Yet when Palestinians form a resistance to defend against this threat the world and media calls them 'terrorists'. And the US media obviously won't report on this at all. It's not important. Only report when Israel bombs Gaza. Don't report the sole issue of the conflict. Hypocrites.
