On Thursday morning, 2 June 2020, at around 10:00 A.M., Civil Administration personnel arrived with a military jeep escort and a bulldozer at the seasonal encampment of a Palestinian community in Wadi a-Ras al-Ahmar, north of the village of Fayasil a-Tahta in the Jordan Valley. The force demolished seven tents used as seasonal homes by five families totaling 34 people, including 14 minors. The force also demolished eight tents and a shack that served as livestock pens, three livestock enclosures, four tents used as kitchens, and two tin restrooms. The families live on site from October to May and are currently living in another area in the Jordan Valley.
