HEBRON (Ma‘an) 14 June -- Israeli forces demolished five water wells in the southern West Bank city of Hebron on Tuesday morning, targeting a neighborhood in the city's south. The wells belonged to the Al-Jamal family, brother of the owner Samir Abdul-Hamid Ma‘an. Soldiers and crews from Israel's Civil Administration arrived on the property early, Samir said, assaulting family members who attempted to prevent the demolitions and then deploying tear-gas to drive them out of the area. Five wells were destroyed and filled-in, "under the guise that they were built without a license," Samir said.
