JENIN, August 26, 2012 (WAFA) – The Israeli authorities Sunday notified 13 Palestinians of their decision to demolish 13 private-owned artesian water wells in Kufr Dan, a village west of Jenin, under the pretext of “building without permit,” according to the owners.

They told WAFA that Israeli forces along with a staff from the Israeli Water Authority stormed Marj Bin Amer plain in the village, photographed the water wells and assaulted the head of the irrigation committee, Mohammad Mori.

Governor of Jenin, Talal Dwekat, condemned this Israeli measure against the village’s residents.

The owners called upon all local and international organizations and relevant parties to intervene and stop the demolition order.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces notified Mahmood Arqawi, a resident of the village, of their decision to demolish his under construction house under the same pretext.
