TULKARM, Friday, November 3, 2023 (WAFA) — Colonial Israeli settlers cut off today the main water pipeline feeding the town of Bayt Lid, in the northern West Bank province of Tulkarm, according to local sources.

Maan Rashid, a member of the Bayt Lid Municipal Council, told WAFA that colonial settlers, protected by the Israeli occupation forces, severed the main water pipeline located at the town's main entrance, therefore depriving 8,000 citizens of access to water.

Rashid added that the municipality's field personnel attempted to reach the water pipeline to carry out repairs, but Israeli occupation soldiers forced them not to access the pipeline at gunpoint.

Earlier in the morning, the Israeli occupation forces closed the main entrance of the town with earth mounds, as colonial settlers went on a rampage vandalizing private and public properties in the area and setting fire to olive trees.
