Israeli Soldiers Prevent Palestinians from Accessing Drinking Water near Hebron

HEBRON, August 15, 2011 (WAFA) – Israeli soldiers Monday prevented Palestinians living in al-Fawwar refugee camp, south of Hebron, from accessing and obtaining drinking water from the nearby water spring, said security sources.

Three Israeli military vehicles set up a checkpoint at the camp entrance and prevented the Palestinian residents from reaching the spring.

In a related matter, Israeli soldiers raided several neighborhoods in Hebron and towns near the city, set up several checkpoints for “security reasons” and stopped Palestinian vehicles, which obstructed movements.

Israeli soldiers also fired gunshots and flares at dawn in al-Layyeh area in Edna, a town west of Hebron, under the pretext of military training.
