WAFA 12/06/2020

Israeli military tanks destroyed, on Thursday at night, a main water pipe serving Palestinian communities in the northern Jordan Valley region, northeast of the occupied West Bank.

Dirar Sawafta, a member of the Local Council of Bardala Village, in the northern Jordan Valley, told WAFA that a 200-meter-long water pipe was destroyed as the Israeli armored vehicles ran over it during a live-fire military exercise, in the area. Furthermore, dozens of armored vehicles were also deployed on the outskirts of the villages of Tayasir and al-Aqaba, east of Tubas town. In several incidents, many Palestinians, including children, were injured or killed, when explosives dropped by the soldiers during training went off near them.
