On Thursday morning, 11 Oct. 2018, at approximately 7:30 A.M., Civil Administration officials came with a military and Border Police escort and two bulldozers to the village of al-Hadidiyah in the northern Jordan Valley. The forces demolished three huts that made up the home of a family of eight, four of them children, and a tent in which another member of the community lived. They also demolished a paddock and two livestock pens. The next day - Friday, 12 Oct. - al-Hadidiyah was declared a closed military zone from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. About ten soldiers, escorted by two police officers, came to the area and prevented Israeli human rights activists from helping the residents rebuild their homes. The soldiers arrested one of the activists.
