JENIN, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) demolished on Wednesday three artesian wells, east of Jenin, and launched extensive sweeps searching for water wells in the area.
Eyewitnesses told PIC's reporter that an army bulldozer filled up three wells belonging to citizens Khalid Omar Yassin, Abdel-Moneim Daraghmeh, and Yasser Abu Zahra.
IOF also interrogated farmers who were in the area about other wells' locations, warning that they will fill up all the wells, which they called "unauthorized".
Citizens have been forced to dig artesian wells, drilling each of which costs about 50 thousand dollars, in order to find water for irrigation and drinking.
Meanwhile, local sources said that IOF arrested last night a youth from Jenin while passing through the Shafi Shomron checkpoint, near Nablus, and transferred him to an unknown destination.
They had also stormed a village in the west of Jenin and arrested Rafat Nassar, 19, and transferred him to the neighboring Salem military camp.
