The Israeli authorities, on Sunday, demolished

a water well in the village of al-Zawiyah in Salfit, central occupied 
West Bank, and delivered demolition notices to others.

The mayor of al-Zawiyah, Mohmoud Muqdadi, told Quds News Network (QNN) 
that “over 100 Israeli soldiers accompanied by bulldozers demolished a 
water well owned by Muath Musleh, and notified locals of the occupation 
state’s plans to demolish 10 other water wells.”

“The villagers gathered in the area, resulting in the prevention of the 
occupation forces from carrying out the demolitions,” added Muqdadi, 
stating that soldiers announced their plans to return to demolish the 
rest of the wells.

Muqdadi also stressed that “the local community will continue to 
protest, as they have done in the past, to prevent the occupation forces 
from demolishing water wells.” The villagers have organized protests 
that prevented the occupation authorities from building the apartheid 
wall on the village’s land.

“The locals of al-Zawiya, as well as the municipality, are determined to 
continue construction and cultivation in order to prevent the occupation 
state from confiscating it”, Muqdadi said.

    “If they demolish a water well, we will build another,” he concluded.

Important to note that Resolution 64/292 
<https://undocs.org/en/A/RES/64/292> of the United Nations General 
Assembly recognizes the human right to water and sanitation, and 
acknowledges that clean drinking water and sanitation are *essential* to 
the realisation of all human rights.
