An Israeli military court approved the removal of the water supply network in Aqaba village in the northern Jordan Valley and turned down an objection filed a year ago by the local residents.
Chief of the village Sami Sadeq told a reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that a lawyer hired by the residents told them that the Israeli court rejected the objection filed against the removal of the water network and sanctioned the Israeli occupation army’s decision to raze it at the pretext that it was set up with no license.
Sadeq said that the water network was deployed about two years ago in the village to serve the local residents but later the Israeli army ordered its removal adding that the case had been dealt with by an Israeli military court for about one year.
The local official affirmed that the village council and the residents would not give up and would try to extract a verdict against the removal of the water network from the Israeli high court of justice.
The water supply network is an internal system inside the village serving about 70 Palestinian homes.
The village of Aqaba is encircled by three Israeli army bases and its residents are exposed to repeated shooting incidents during military drills and exercises.
The Israeli army has already demolished several homes in the village and threaten to raze more others as well as its Mosque.
