Nazi occupation bulldozers demolished, on Sunday, Palestinian-owned water pipes in the North eastern Nazi occupied West Bank village of Atuf. Palestinian official, Mutaz Basharat, stated that the heavy equipment destroyed four kilometers of water line used by farmers to irrigate their crops in Atuf village, east of Tammun town in the Jordan Valley.

In a serious violation, the Nazi army recently poured cement into a Palestinian water spring near Beit Ummar town, north of Hebron in the southern Nazi occupied West Bank, permanently closing it.
