Over half of the Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank has been declared an active military “firing zone” by the Israeli army. The Israeli military conducts military exercises in these areas, even if Palestinian villages still exist there. Ibziq is one such village where Uday Nawaja’a was recently killed after stumbling upon an unexploded ordnance, left behind by the Israeli army, while tending to a flock of goats. “I was tending to the flock, as Uday was wandering underneath a tree, about 30 meters away,” Nawaja’a's uncle told Mondoweiss. “Suddenly, I heard an explosion. I ran over to Uday to see what happened. But a few seconds later, he was dead.”
