A home seized by the IDF in the Jordan Valley today belongs to detained Palestinian activist Ayman Ghraeib, according to the Jordan Valley Activists, an Israeli volunteer group that accompanies Palestinian shepherds in the area.
A spokeswoman for the group says Ghraieb’s home was “turned into a military base,” with his wife and children kicked out and his car confiscated. Neighboring landowners have also been evicted until further notice, says the spokeswoman.
Ghraieb, who documents evictions and other actions by Israeli settlers and security forces, was detained on November 17 in the Palestinian village of Fasayil, near Jericho, and is expected to be held in administrative detention, a tool used by Israeli security forces to hold Palestinians for months without charge.
The IDF and Shin Bet said this morning that they had commenced wide-scale operations in the northern West Bank last night and “won’t allow terror to become established in the area.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
