Israeli settlers ruined on Monday morning a water pipe used by Palestinian farmers in the village of Sakout in the northern Jordan Valley according to a local official.
In a press statement the official of settlement in the area Mutaz Besharat said a group of settlers escorted by Israeli forces destroyed the water pipe that was recently installed by Palestinian farmers in the area to irrigate their crops.
The village is located in Area C of the West Bank which is under full Israeli military and administrative control. Palestinian residents in that area are often harassed and attacked by Israeli settlers who repeatedly carry out their violations in the presence of Israeli military forces.
Israeli practices in the Jordan Valley are aimed at pushing the Palestinians out of the Jordan Valley district using all means in order to replace them with Jewish settlers.
