Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank dumped on Saturday morning their wastewater into Palestinian agricultural lands in western Bethlehem causing large-scale air water and soil pollution.
According to local official Hasan Berejiya settlers from the illegal settlement of Beitar Illit opened sewage drains and flooded swaths of Palestinian-owned land in Nahalin town damaging dozens of dunums of land planted with different types of crops.
The affected area also includes a water spring Berejiya pointed out.
Different Jewish settlements in the West Bank have been pumping their sewage directly into nearby Palestinian town and villages for years creating a dangerous and unhealthy situation for local residents and contaminating soil groundwater and crops.
