Israeli settlers steal water pipe used by Palestinians in Jordan Valley

TUBAS, November 7, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers on Tuesday stole a 400-meter water pipe used by Palestinians in the village of Ein el-Sakout, to the east of Tubas in the northern Jordan Valley, according to local sources.

Muataz Besharat, who monitors settlement activities in the area, told WAFA that settlers stole the water pipe that was recently installed by the Palestinian Agricultural Relief for irrigation of 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.
