West Bank settlers divert water sources
The article addresses the Israeli settlers' seizure of water springs in the West Bank, transforming them into private pools for their exclusive use, as part of a plan aimed at displacing Palestinian residents and suffocating their agricultural economy. It highlights the example of the village of Fasa'il, where settlers took over a water line and established a pond called "Herod's Pools." Despite Palestinian Saad Nimer owning the land according to official documents, Israeli authorities ignore their claims. Reports indicate that settlers have gained control of approximately 95% of the water sources in northern Jordan Valley and have carried out attacks on 160 water and sanitation sites, significantly threatening the livelihoods and security of Palestinian residents. Some settlers boast about dominating these areas, justifying their actions through religious and historical claims, even as experts warn of the archaeological and environmental damage caused by these practices.
