Since early morning on 25th November occupation forces have closed all the checkpoints between Tubas and the northern Jordan Valley, preventing teachers, students, workers and farmers from travelling to work to school. By 5am the occupation forces invaded Tubas town, Al Fara’a, Tammoun, Tayasir and Al Aqaba village. The main road between the town and villages was closed as they started a huge military operation in the area. The whole area has been placed under curfew. No-one can move between the town and villages, or even leave their own homes. Everything has been closed including the markets and the shops.

Anyone attempting to venture out of there homes are being stopped and violently beaten by the occupation forces. On Wednesday 26th November twenty people were assaulted, including an old man. A resident of Tamnmoun who urgently needed to go to hospital was forcibly stopped at a flying checkpoint on his way there and held for 4 hours – as a result of the delays he didn’t make it to the hospital and died.

Occupation forces evicted two families from their homes in Tammoun and six families from their homes in Tubas. They have occupied the houses and turned them into military bases. Military helicopters have been overhead shooting at anyone who leaves their home.
