Israeli Regime Destroys West Bank Water Pipelines, Forces Palestinians from Homes

Palestinian human rights activist Aref Daraghmeh said Israeli forces destroyed water pipelines in the Atouf and Ras al-Ahmar areas of Tubas governorate.

The areas have endured months of Israeli regime operations involving the clearing of agricultural land, damage to water networks and the filling in of artesian wells, causing heavy losses to local farmers, Daraghmeh said.

Meanwhile, in the northern Jordan Valley, Israeli forces detained two Palestinian brothers in the Ein al-Hilweh area, local sources told Anadolu.

Separately, Israeli troops raided Tell village southwest of Nablus and ordered residents to leave several homes ahead of the planned demolition of a house belonging to Palestinian Farouq Ramadan.

Ramadan was killed on July 24 during an attack by Israeli occupiers on the village.

Local sources said Ramadan had disarmed and killed one of the attackers before being shot dead.

Three other members of his family were also killed and four Palestinians were injured during the attack, according to the sources.

In another development, Israeli occupiers set fire to agricultural land east of Jaljaliya village near Ramallah before Palestinian civil defense crews brought the blaze under control, the official news agency Wafa reported.

Village council head Osama Nazmi said Israeli occupiers established an outpost in the area about a year ago and seized homes belonging to Palestinians from the nearby town of Al-Mazraa Al-Sharqiya.

The latest raids come as Israeli regime attacks across the occupied West Bank have intensified since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023.

According to official Palestinian figures, the attacks have killed more than 1,182 Palestinians, injured around 13,000 and led to the arrest of nearly 24,000 others.
