Israeli forces demolished four water wells and several greenhouses Wednesday in the Al-Thaghra neighborhood of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, Wafa news reported. The structures were destroyed during a single operation targeting Palestinian agricultural assets.
Beit Ummar, located in the northern reaches of the Hebron district, has faced repeated Israeli military operations. The demolition of wells and greenhouses removes critical infrastructure for Palestinian farmers who depend on the equipment for irrigation and crop production in the arid region.
