Israeli settlers destroyed solar panels and water pumps belonging to a Palestinian resident of Khirbet al-Deir, a hamlet in the Jordan Valley in the northeast of the occupied West Bank, Wafa news agency reported on Thursday.
Local human rights activist Aref Daraghmeh reported that the settlers damaged the solar energy panels and water pumps belonging to Abdul Hakim Daraghmeh, which are used for farming and household needs.
The area has been targeted for months, with Israeli settlers and military repeatedly targeting solar panels, water pumps, and irrigation networks. These systems are critical for cultivating the land and sustaining local Palestinian communities.
