Palestinians in Masafer Yatta, a farming and herding community in the southern occupied West Bank, are without reliable access to water after Israeli settlers severed their supply lines, Mondoweiss reported. The cuts represent an escalation in settler attacks targeting the area's agricultural population.
The water cutoff compounds existing pressures on residents of Masafer Yatta, who have faced prior Israeli military and settler operations in the region.
