The Jordan Valley is located in a stretch of land (about 401 km2) that lies adjacent to the Jordan Valley up to the base of the mountain ridge, east of the West Bank. It runs from the Sea of Galilee in the north to the Dead Sea in the south.

The Israeli targeting of the Jordan Valley has been a sensitive issue since the 1948 “Nakba, or catastrophe, when Israeli occupation strived to maintain the area for its great political, economic, developmental and border importance.
