An-Najah News - According to sources, Israeli forces today ordered a halt on the construction of a water well east of Ad-Dhahiriya town, southwest of Hebron city

 Israeli forces stormed Khirbet Zanouta, east of the town, and close to the colonial settlement of Atniel, where they detained a Palestinian as he was constructing a well to collect rainwater and seized the excavation machines, under the pretext that the area is classified Area C said Member of the Popular Committees in Southern Hebron, Rateb al-Jbour.

Khirbet Zanouta has become a frequent target for Israeli forces, who have tore down tents and livestock shacks as a means to displace the residents and make room for the expansion of colonial settlements.

Israel demolishes Palestinian houses and structures almost on a daily basis as a means to achieve “demographic control” of the occupied territories.
