Denial of water to Palestinians

The behaviour of Israeli troops as reported below by Palestine Today - The Headlines makes it undeniable that, not content with syphoning off Palestine's precious water resources at source, the Regime's priority is flatly to deny water to all who belong to the 'wrong tribe'.
Occupation forces conduct a survey of water wells west of Jenin

Dry well, Bethlehem

JENIN (PIC) 17 June -- The Israeli occupation forces have stormed, on Sunday afternoon, Marj Bin Amer Plain west of Jenin and launched combing operations in search of water wells, investigating a number of farmers. Local sources pointed out that several equipped vehicles accompanied by white military jeeps belong to the Israel Water Authority have entered to the plains of Silat Harithiya, Ta‘anak [Ti‘inik], and Yamoun towns and conducted a survey of private drinking water wells, an act which has been repeated in the recent times. The occupation forces have interrogated the farmers in that region, and asked them about the water wells which they used in light of an extensive campaign aimed at targeting water resources in the occupied West Bank. The occupation forces had demolished, last week, six wells east of Jenin, in addition to dozens [of] wells that were filled [in] during the past year.

New settler tourism and sewage facilities to be built in Ein al Daraj
Jerusalem (Silwanic) 17 June -- The Jerusalem City Planning Committee announced this week that a new tourism centre and sewage facilities servicing Israeli 'settlers' in the Ein al Daraj neighborhood of Silwan are scheduled for construction ... Land seizure began in Ein al-Daraj in 1995, when settlers successfully had the area closed off for archaeological excavation and development. Local residents’ lives were thrown into disarray as the excavations blocked their access to the primary water source in the area, land used for agriculture and recreational areas for children. The area is now the exclusive domain of Israeli settlers and Zionist tourists.

One piece of good news in the middle of all this:

Israeli Supreme Court orders return of land stolen from Dura al Qare‘ farmer
Stop the Wall 17 June -- "The only alternative that would be acceptable to me would be your complete withdrawal from all Palestinian land." The case of Khalid Abdullah Yassin. Thus spoke Khalid Abdullah Yassin, a farmer from the small village of Dura, near Ramallah, when the Israeli government offered him a huge sum of money to lease from him the land upon which Israeli settlers had illegally built. Though comprising no more than 11 acres of land, this small patch of Palestine, and what happens to it over the coming weeks, could become a litmus test for Israel’s further spiral into outright contempt and blatant disregard for not only international law, but also Israeli. The story of Khalid and the villagers began in 1995, when, living in the shadow of the Israeli settlement of Beit El, they began to notice that settlers were regularly encroaching upon their land.
