At approximately 6:15 am on Tuesday, 14 April 2015, Israeli farming planes sprayed the agricultural fields east of As-Salqa valley with poisonous gases. In his affidavit to Al Mezan,  farmer Issam Mohammed Sulaiman Abu Muhareb, 44, who owns an agricultural field, stated that at approximately 6:15 am on Tuesday 14 April 2015, he saw a yellow farming plane sprayed  planted fields with vegetables and fruits (squash, watermelon, pepper and cucumber) located east of As-Salqa valley area.

 

The plane was flying about 15 meters high and was spraying the fields from a distance of 500 meters. The produced smell of the sprinkled material resembles the smell of the agricultural pesticides.
