Bedouin Palestinian community with Sewage water, in an attempt to force 
the inhabitants to leave their Dwellings, just as the ultimatum set by 
the Israeli court for their displacement went into effect, Monday.

Abdullah Abu Rahma, a senior nonviolent activist and the head of Save 
al-Khan al-Ahmar Campaign, said both the Israeli soldiers and the 
colonialist settlers are constantly increasing the suffering of the 
Palestinians, and continuously violating their rights, even their very 
existence, in order to remove and displace them.

Abu Rahma said the assailants, from Kfar Adumim illegal colony, flooded 
the community with Sewage water, in yet another means of assaults and 
violations against nearly 200 Palestinians, including children.

“Both the settlers and the soldiers are partaking in these violations 
and war on the inhabitants of a-Khan al-Ahmar,” he said, “But the 
violations, and isolation of the community, will not only increase the 
steadfastness and determination of the villagers.”

He also called for increasing the support and solidarity with the 
Bedouin community, to foil the illegal Israeli plans of displacement, 
and replacing the Palestinians with illegal colonialist settlers.

Eid Abu Dahouk, the mayor of al-Khan al-Ahmar, said that “by flooding 
the community with sewage, the colonialist settlers are engaging in a 
new form of war against the inhabitants.

He warned of the grave consequences, and health risks resulting from 
this serious violation against al-Khan al-Ahmar, especially the 
children, in addition to the livestock, the only source of livelihood of 
the families.

The Palestinians, along with international peace activists, are ongoing 
with their nonviolent protests in al-Khan al-Ahmar, despite the constant 
assaults, violations and threats of forceful eviction.

On September 5^th , the Israeli supreme court denied an appeal against 
the demolition of the Palestinian community, and ordered its removal and 
displacement.

The first ruling by the court was made in May of this year, when it 
granted the military a green light for demolishing it.

There are approximately 200 Palestinians living in al-Khan al-Ahmar, %53 
of them are children, and %95 of the population are refugees officially 
registered by the UNRWA. The community has one school providing 
education to 170 children.

It is worth mentioning that al-Khan al-Ahmar is surrounded by several 
illegal Israeli colonies, while Israel wants to remove it as part of its 
E1 colonialist project, which aims at surrounding occupied Jerusalem 
with a chain of Jewish-only colonies, and blocking the geographical 
contiguity of the occupied West Bank, and completely isolating the 
Palestinians from Jerusalem.
