On Thursday, 6 March 2025, at around 9:00 A.M., Civil Administration personnel, accompanied by soldiers and equipped with an excavator, arrived at the community of al-Burj in the northern Jordan Valley. The forces demolished two tents that housed a family of eight, including four minors, as well as a tent used as a kitchen and bathroom, solar panels, and two water tanks belonging to the same family. The residential tents had been erected after the Civil Administration demolished the family’s home on 25 November 2024.
From there, the forces continued to Khirbet Um al-Jamal, where they demolished a residential shack and a livestock enclosure that had been left empty after most of the community’s residents were expelled from their homes under settler threats on 12 August 2024.
