Settlers stole a gate, water pump, and storage tanks from Abu Anja, a village located southeast of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, Shehab Wire reported. The theft targeted essential water infrastructure serving the Palestinian community.
Abu Anja residents depend on such equipment to access and store water supplies in an area where Palestinian communities face severe restrictions on water resources. The incident reflects broader disputes over infrastructure and resource control in settlements and nearby Palestinian villages. Israeli settlers have been accused repeatedly of targeting Palestinian water systems and agricultural equipment in the West Bank.
