Israeli soldiers poisoned well in West Bank village, say local officials
"Israeli soldiers poured dirt, stones and toxic chemicals in the only well in the hamlet of Khirbat Makehl near the village of Yabad in the northern West Bank overnight on Saturday, according to Palestinians in the community.
The village's official representative, Walid Hamdan, said soldiers riding in three military jeeps entered the community overnight and sabotaged the well. The chemicals caused the water to change color and taste, he said.
The 80 cubic-meter well is the only source of water for the village of 70 to 80 families, Hamdan said.
He also said that, since the village lies near the Israeli settlement of Hermesh, the armed guards of the settlement often harass and assault Palestinians, particularly herders who venture near the edges of the settlement. Israeli forces also sometimes close the road leading to the community, preventing deliveries of food.
Hamdan invited human rights organizations to visit the community to see the situation there and ultimately put pressure on Israel stop the abuses in the area. He said the situation is "unbearable," and some of the local families have begun moving to nearby towns and cities because of these repeated attacks."
