| In the hottest part of the year, occupation forces demolish Beit Dajan`s water reservoir | | IMEMC - Israeli forces demolished a water reservoir set up on lands
belonging to the villagers of Beit Dajan, east of Nablus. Aactivist
Tawfiq Haj Mohammad said that the Israeli forces raided the village
and demolished the village council`s water reservoir that had a
capacity of 500 cubic meters of water and was used for drinking and
irrigating purposes. The villagers had for some time managed to halt
demolition of the tank by legal appeals, but the military
authorities finally carried out their design, with the water from
the destroyed tank not only being irrevocably lost but also flooding
and damaging nearby lands. Haj Mohammad said that the village
suffers from a water shortage problem and that the Israeli
authorities sabotage any projects that aim to solve this issue.
[Since 1967, Israel has secured control of the West Bank water
sources. Palestinians are forbidden to dig wells on their land
without an Israeli permit, which is only rarely given. ak] | 15/7/2021 |

| `Entire village destroyed, 42 people left homeless, water tanks conficacated on a particularly hot day` | | Lynn Hastings - UN Humanitarian Coordinator for the occupied
Palestinian territory - The mass demolition and confiscation of
properties by Israeli forces in the Palestinian community of Humsa –
Al Bqai’a in the northern West Bank is disturbing. Throughout the
demolition, Israeli forces blocked access of humanitarian personnel
to the families. Thirty-eight structures were demolished or
confiscated, most alarmingly, water tanks. Altogether 42 people,
including 24 children, have lost their homes, being left out in the
open, in the summer heat, with virtually no basic provisions; even
milk, diapers, clothes and toys had been taken. This is the
Israeli authorities` way to force the community of Humsa – Al
Bqai’a to leave their homes and make their way to a "designated location.". [ak]

| The house of an alleged Palestinian assailant blown up at Turmus Ayya | | IMEMC - At dawn, massed Israeli soldiers and armored vehicles
invaded the town Turmus Ayya, surrounding the home of Montaser
Shalabi - a 44-year old Palestinian businessman who was detained and
charged with having shot from his car and killed Israeli settler
Yehuda Goeta, two months ago. The Israeli security service said that
Shalabi "does not fir the usual profile of a terrorist" but that
they are sure of his guilt. As yet, he had not been charged and
certainly not convicted, but under the military government`s rules
that does not preclude destroying his home "in order to deter
others". The Shalbi Family appealed to the Supreme Court in
Jerusalem, but the judges turned down their appeal. The demolition
was held up for a few days because the Shalbis are American
citizens, but was carried out nevertheless. After forcing out the
family, the soldiers wired the house and blew it up. Townspeople
confronted the soldiers, the army reporting "about 200 rioters".
Shalbi`s wife said: “We are not the first to have this done to us;
this is all part of Israel’s illegal policies of collective
punishment. We will rebuild, and we will remain steadfast.”

| Thousands of Palestinians swept up in Israeli arrest campaign | | Aljazeera - Silwan, occupied East Jerusalem – Israel continues to
carry out a wave of arrests of Palestinians, including children, in an
effort to crush Palestinian resistance and political opposition to the
occupation. In May 2021, at least 3,100 Palestinians in the West Bank,
Jerusalem, and 1948 occupied territories were arrested during random
and organised Israeli arrest campaigns, reported the Palestinian
prisoners’ association Addameer in its report for the month. The
largest proportion of those arrests, 2,000, took place within Israel’s
internationally recognised Green Line boundary following mass protests
against Israeli raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque, the eviction of Palestinian
residents from their homes in East Jerusalem, and clashes with Israeli
settlers and forces.(rh)
