Israeli Army Destroys Water Pipelines and Orders Families from Homes in West Bank

Tel aviv: The Israeli army destroyed water pipelines and detained two Palestinians in separate raids Monday across the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

According to Anadolu Agency, Palestinian human rights activist Aref Daraghmeh reported that Israeli forces destroyed water pipelines in the Atouf and Ras al-Ahmar areas of Tubas governorate. The area has been subjected to months of Israeli operations involving the clearing of agricultural land, damage to water networks, and the filling in of artesian wells, resulting in significant losses for local farmers, Daraghmeh noted.

In the northern Jordan Valley, Israeli forces detained two Palestinian brothers in the Ein al-Hilweh area, as confirmed by local sources. Separately, troops raided Tell village, southwest of Nablus, instructing residents to vacate several homes in anticipation 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. According to the sources, he had disarmed and killed one of the attackers before being shot dead. Three other family members were also killed, and four Palestinians were injured during the attack.

Near Ramallah, Israeli occupiers set fire to agricultural land east of Jaljaliya village before Palestinian civil defense crews managed to bring the blaze under control, as reported by the official news agency Wafa. Village council head Osama Nazmi stated that 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.

Since the onset of Israel's war on Gaza in October 2023, attacks by the Israeli army and occupiers across the occupied West Bank have escalated, resulting in more than 1,182 Palestinian deaths, around 13,000 injuries, and the arrest of nearly 24,000 individuals, according to official Palestinian figures.
