Jordan Valley dispute leaves an Arab village in ruins

Twisted metal scraps, building debris and a few sheep are all that remain of the West Bank Bedouin village of Makhul after its destruction by the Israeli army this month.

The demolition of Palestinian structures deemed illegal by Israel has long been a source of tension, and Makhul was the scene of a diplomatic incident when Israeli soldiers manhandled European envoys and humanitarian workers trying to deliver tents days after its demolition.
