Israel has begun construction on a 22-kilometer-long, 50-meter-wide separation wall and accompanying road along the eastern lands of Tubas in the northern Jordan Valley, named the 'Crimson Thread' project, according to Middle East Eye. The project is reshaping life for Palestinian farmers and shepherds in the Buqe’aa Plain, with residents reporting land confiscations, settler attacks, and water shortages that have forced families to leave their villages.
Israel has begun construction on the 'Crimson Thread' project — a 22-kilometer-long, 50-meter-wide separation wall and accompanying road along the eastern lands of Tubas in the northern Jordan Valley, according to a report by Middle East Eye published Thursday evening. The wall and road cut through the Buqe’aa Plain, an area used by Palestinian farmers and shepherds for sheepherding and agriculture.
Residents, including Khairallah Bani Odeh from the village of Atouf, told MEE that a combination of settler attacks, water shortages, and large-scale Israeli land grabs forced them to relocate to nearby Tammoun, south of Tubas. Bani Odeh said he feels as if he is ‘living in a giant prison.’ The report describes how the construction is reshaping daily life for local Palestinian communities.
The Zioneer has no prior reporting on this specific project. The report is a single-source account from Middle East Eye, a UK-based news outlet focused on the Middle East; no official Israeli confirmation or denial has been published yet. The extent of the barrier's impact and its approval status remain unverified by Israeli authorities.
