JORDAN VALLEY, November, 18, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces today seized water networks belonging to Palestinian farmers in Khirbet al-Deir in the northern Jordan Valley.

The head of the Ein al-Bayda village council, Omar Fuqaha, said that the occupation seized four water networks located on several springs in Khirbet al-Deir belonging to the citizen, Muhammad Fayez Daraghmeh, which are used to irrigate crops grown in that area.

In a related context, Muhammad Sawafta, one of the farmers in al-Deir, said that the occupation seized water pumps and solar energy used to operate those pumps, leaving about 600 dunums, planted with grapes and corn, without a water source.

It is worth noting that Khirbet al-Deir is one of the border areas that citizens exploit to cultivate its lands, taking advantage of the presence of springs in it.

Last year, colonists, under the protection of the occupation army, seized water networks for citizens in the area.
