JORDAN VALLEY, November 6, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers destroyed on Monday water pipes used by Palestinians in the village of Sakout, in the northern Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank, to irrigate their land, according to a local official.

Aref Daraghmeh, who monitors settlement activities in the area, said settlers destroyed the water pipe that was recently installed by Palestinian farmers in the area to irrigate their crops.

The village is located in Area C of the West Bank, which is under full Israeli military control and where the Palestinian government has no jurisdiction.

The Palestinian residents in these areas are often harassed and attacked by Israeli settlers who often carry out their acts in the presence of Israeli military forces.

Israel wants to push the Palestinians out of the Jordan Valley using all means and replace them by Jewish settlers.
