Israeli forces yesterday confiscated two water tanks in Khirbet Tall Al-Himma in the northern occupied Jordan Valley, along with a pump from a spring used as the community’s main source of water, B’TSelem reported.

The forces then cut a pipe used to bring water from a natural spring to a reservoir in the community of Kh. Um Al-Jmal, used for livestock and irrigation.

This comes as the area experiencing scorching summer heat. Israel refuses to connect these communities to the water system.
