Archivist Notes On This Video
Al-Jiftlik is a Palestinian village in the Jordan Valley, located in the West Bank. It is part of the Jericho Governorate. Al-Jiftlik lies along the northern part of the Jordan Valley, east of the city of Jericho, and near the Jordan River.
The village is mostly inhabited by Palestinian farmers and herders, and much of its land is classified as Area C under the Oslo Accords, meaning it is under full Israeli control.
It is frequently affected by settler violence, land confiscation, and restrictions on water and movement due to its location in the Jordan Valley.
Event Notes
The Demolition of Family homes in Al-JiftlikLocated 33 kilometers to the north of Jericho, Al Jiftlik has a population of some 5,500, who predominantly depend on agriculture and livestock for their main source of livelihood. The village occupies a total area of 185,032 dunums.
The Israeli occupation authorities maintain full control over the village, classified as Area C, and has allowed the villagers to build within a small pocket of 972 dunums, which accounts for 0.5 percent of the total village area.
Israel has severely restricted Palestinian access to water in the area, particularly the 23 underground wells used for agriculture. Local water springs are susceptible to dryness and depletion as a result of Israel’s control over water.
In January 2023, Israel had already seized at least some 6,750 dunams belonging to the village for the construction of seven nearby colonial settlements, 4,550 dunums for the construction of a military base, besides to more land for opening settler-only by-pass Roads No. 90, 50, 505 and 508, and constructing colonial outposts, pushing the villagers into a crowded enclave, a ghetto, surrounded by walls, settlements and military installations.
Qais Nour Al-Din Harizat, a one-year-old child, was born with limbs without fingers. The occupation intensified his suffering after demolishing his family’s home in Al-Jiftlik in the northern Jordan Valley, leaving them exposed without shelter.
