so we've just entered the jordan valley here, and uh, what we witnessed just as we were entering was setlers to come in and make goods to sell around the world. the area is under international law recognized as palestinian land, which is to be the future agricultural hub of palestine. its undeveloped areas could also be used for energy projects, water extraction and urban centers. one of the most important things to understand about the jordan valley is that this land here constitutes 30% of the west bank and of course means the loss of the most fertile agricultural land for a potential future palestinian state. what you can see straight away when you come here to the jordan valley is that the people primary. here are building their houses uh as tents uh and as sort of cave structures and things like this, because the israelis don't allow them here in area c to actually build have the permits to build homes, so if they were to actually build proper homes already before the the land being annexed and of course these people uh inevitably being expelled then their homes would be bulldoz

palestinians have been injured in that rate in the north west of the occupied westbank near the jordan valley. it's one of a number of rates that actually took place of a noise. uh there was a nother raid in a village, just north of west of ramallah. that's the one we actually had in the early hours of the morning and i heard all those fun grenades being 5, those sound boat was being fired from. my hotel was only about 3 kilometers. full clements is away from that village of co box. oh so it's not north west of hebron and a bit to north west of jerusalem rates took place there. they started around 2 o'clock in the morning last it until about 5 o'clock in the morning. but that raid into bus is actually still ongoing, even as we speak. now the public standing present society has said that these radius of detain molding 1450 how the city and since the 2nd a 7th of october and they've increased the number of palestinians in is ready jones to. ready and $661600.00 of those who are actually held without charge. and that brings the death whole of the palestinians, killed in his ready raids to a $104
