Hebrew Media: Occupation Targets Palestinians Systematically
Haaretz newspaper reveals that Israel is following a systematic policy to deprive Palestinians in the West Bank of water sources by controlling springs and destroying water networks and reservoirs. These practices result in the Palestinians facing drought conditions and increasingly limited access to water, especially in the Jordan Valley region, according to human rights reports and Palestinian testimonies. Israel has focused on implementing the "Second Wire" security project in the area; although the army states it is necessary for security reasons, settlers are unlawfully controlling the largest springs, which deepens Palestinian marginalization in accessing vital water resources. This threatens their traditional way of life, including mobility and water usage, particularly during summer. These policies have led to a severe water crisis, with Israel demolishing more than 500 wells last year, according to the Palestinian Liberation Organization, reflecting the ongoing expansion of water dispossession and an apartheid-style segregation in the region.
