Israeli forces confiscated solar power equipment in the Jordan Valley
Melhem said the Israeli seizure and vandalism was committed as part of the occupation’s policy of ethnic cleansing “with the aim to Judaise the area and secure control over it and destroy everything related to livelihoods in an aim to force the residents to leave for the benefit of settlement expansion”.
He said diversification of energy supplies was a keen aim and that solar projects are a step towards energy independence from the Israeli occupation.
The Energy and Natural Resources Authority installed solar energy systems in the central and northern Jordan Valley as part of a project approved by the government that aims to install more than 400 units.
