BETHLEHEM, April 23, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces demolished on Thursday an agricultural structure in the village of al-Waha, northwest of Bethlehem, umder the prtext that it was built without a construction permit.
Security sources told WAFA correspondent that Israeli troops demolished an agricultural room in al-Walaja belonging to Walid Atta Rabah, citing lacking permits.
In as separate incident, Israeli forces demolished agricultural water lines and networks in the village of Atouf, southeast of Tubas, disrupting irrigation across large swathes of farmland.
The ongoing land leveling operations over the past two months have cut off water supplies to pproximately 12,000 dunams of farmland in the areas of Atouf and the Al-Baqi’a plain.
In late November 2025, Israeli forces announced a project referred to as “The Crimson Thread” to establish a military road and a separation wall on Palestinian-owned land in the Tubas Governorate.
According to its initial plans, the project is planned to span 1,042 dunams of land and will also isolate thousands of additional dunams behind the proposed route.
