Inhabitants of the Palestinian Jordan Valley told me that -

On September 27, 2015 at noontime, an army jeep came to the spot where Abdallah Al Mahmoud, inhabitant of Khirbet Homsa, was grazing his flock. They soldiers destroyed the sheds that provide shade and shelter for the animals (temperatures in the Jordan Valley even now reach 40 degrees Celsius), emptied the tanker of the expensive water it held for watering the flock, confiscated it and took it off for the nearby army camp. Thus they left the flock with no shelter nor water.
