JORDAN VALLEY: Israeli colonial settlers today started the groundwork for the construction of a settler-only road on Palestinian-owned lands in the northern Jordan Valley.

Aref Daraghmeh, a human rights activist, said that the a group of colonial settlers embarked on the constructing of a road located north of the illegal settlement of Shadmut Mikhola, illegally built on Palestinian-owned land in Jordan Valley.
