Israeli occupation forces Thursday issued a halt on construction order against extending a water pipeline in the Ghezawah area, in Masafer Yatta, in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron. Osama Makhamra, an activist, told WAFA that the occupation forces raided the Ghezawah area in the village of Ma’een in Masafer Yatta, and ordered a halt on construction of a water pipeline owned by local resident Yasser Jabbareen. He also noted that the Israeli occupation forces deprive citizens in the aforementioned areas of many essential services and prevent them and the organizations from constructing water and electricity networks, which is all part of the occupation’s settler policy that aims to displace residents from their lands, and seize them for settlement expansion purposes. To be noted, Israeli forces yesterday seized the bulldozer that was working in extending the pipeline and detained its owner.
