<p>Hundreds of Palestinian activists from various West Bank villages

and cities succeeded on Friday, in reaching the village of Ein Hajleh

in the Jordan Valley which is located two kilometers away from the

Jordanian borders.</p>

<p>Dr. Mustafa al-Barghouthi, Secretary General of the Palestinian

National Initiative, told PNN that upon arrival, youths started

chanting national songs, adding that the village was surrounded by

Israeli forces who threatened to break into the village if not

evacuated immediately.</p>

<p>Al-Bargouthi said that the activists didn't erect tents, but they

re-opened the old and abandoned homes in the village. It's worth

mentioning that this village has been closed and uninhabited for 47

years.</p>

<p>Al-Barghouthi added that the activists succeeded to reach the

village despite dozens of Israeli checkpoints that were set in the area.</p>

<p>Al-Barghouthi confirmed that the message from reopening and reviving

this village and the other two villages of Bab As-Shams and Ahfad

Younis, is to reinforce the popular resistance and the Boycott,

Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement against Israel.</p>
