@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: They are unable to drill new water wells, install pumps or deepen existing wells, in addition to being denied access to the Jordan River and fresh water springs. Israel even controls the collection of rain water throughout most of the West Bank, and rainwater harvesting cisterns owned by Palestinian communities are often destroyed by the Israeli army. As a result, some 180 Palestinian communities in rural areas in the occupied West Bank have no access to running water, according to OCHA. Even in towns and villages which are connected to the water network, the taps often run dry. Source: Amnesty International -> The Occupation of Water

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria This one: Damage to European Union-funded projects in Palestine during Israeli attacks and other incursions is nothing new. However, following the union’s move in 2015 to label Israeli settlement products, the number of EU-funded projects demolished or confiscated by Israel increased dramatically. In the first three months of 2016, the number of demolitions per month, of either private property or Internationally/EU–funded projects, increased to 165, from an average of 50 during 2012-2015, The United Nations office for coordination of humanitarian affairs 'OCHA' has documented 120 demolitions against EU-financed buildings in the first three months of 2016.

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: In November 1967 the Israeli authorities issued Military Order 158, which stated that Palestinians could not construct any new water installation without first obtaining a permit from the Israeli army. Since then, the extraction of water from any new source or the development of any new water infrastructure would require permits from Israel, which are near impossible to obtain. Palestinians living under Israel’s military occupation continue to suffer the devastating consequences of this order until today. Source: Amnesty International -> The Occupation of Water

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: During the 1947–49 Palestine war, an estimated 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled, comprising around 80% of the Palestinian Arab inhabitants of what became Israel.[25][26] Almost half of this figure (approximately 250,000–300,000 Palestinians) had fled or had been expelled ahead of the Israeli Declaration of Independence in May 1948,[27] a fact which was named as a casus belli for the entry of the Arab League into the country, sparking the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[28] Source: Wiki-Pedia -> Nakba

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: Euro-Med Monitor estimates that since 2001, the Israeli authorities have destroyed approximately 150 development projects, of which totally or partial funded by the EC and its member states, of what incurs the EU a financial loss of approximately €58 million out of the total €85 million worth of damage. Euro-Med Monitor also estimates that since 2001, the total value of EU squandered aid money (development and humanitarian projects)amounts to €65million—of which at least €23million were lost during the 2014 assault alone.

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: In the period after the war, a large number of Palestinians attempted to return to their homes; between 2,700 and 5,000 Palestinians were killed by Israel during this period, the vast majority being unarmed and intending to return for economic or social reasons.[29] The expulsion of the Palestinians has since been described by some historians as ethnic cleansing.[14][15][16] Source: Wiki-Pedia -> Nakba

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: In 2014, Israel invaded Gaza in a major war that resulted in the deaths of 73 Israelis (mostly soldiers) and 2,251 Palestinians (mostly civilians). The invasion resulted in "unprecedented"[13] destruction, damaging 25% of homes in Gaza city and 70% of homes in Beit Hanoun.[13] After 2014, notable events in the conflict included the "Great March of Return" (2018-2019) and clashes in November 2018, May 2019 and November 2019. The 2021 crisis saw 256 Palestinians and 15 Israelis killed. Source: Wiki-Pedia -> Gaza–Israel conflict

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: Clause 10.(b) of the cablegram from the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States to the UN Secretary-General of 15 May 1948 justifying the intervention by the Arab States, the Secretary-General of the League alleged that "approximately over a quarter of a million of the Arab population have been compelled to leave their homes and emigrate to neighbouring Arab countries."

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: The UN Partition Plan of 1947 assigned 56% of Palestine to the future Jewish state, while the Palestinian majority, 66%, were to receive 44% of the territory. 80% of the land in the to-be Jewish state was already owned by Palestinians; 11% had a Jewish title.[34] Before, during and after the 1947–1949 war, hundreds of Palestinian towns and villages were depopulated and destroyed.[35][36] Geographic names throughout the country were erased and replaced with Hebrew names, sometimes derivatives of the historical Palestinian nomenclature, and sometimes new inventions.[37] Source: Wiki-Pedia -> Nakba

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: Palestinian refugees and their descendants, who were displaced in the 1947-49 and 1967 conflicts, continue to be denied the right to return to their former places of residence. Israel’s exclusion of refugees is a flagrant violation of international law which has left millions in a perpetual limbo of forced displacement. Palestinians in annexed East Jerusalem are granted permanent residence instead of citizenship – though this status is permanent in name only. Since 1967, more than 14,000 Palestinians have had their residency revoked at the discretion of the Ministry of the Interior, resulting in their forcible transfer outside the city.

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: Military Proclamation 2 7 JUNE 1967 CONCERNING REGULATION OF AUTHORITY AND THE "JUDICIARY This military order endows the Area Commander with all legislative, executive and judicial powers. It describes the area to which the order applies as the "West Bank" and declares that the laws which were in force up to 7 June 1967 shall remain in force as long as they are not contradicted by a subsequent military order. It assumes control over any property, vehicle, money or ammunition which previously belonged to the Jordanian government or any associated organisation. It stipulates that the laws of taxation, customs and fees in effect on 6 June 1967 are still in force and that monies due should be paid to the military authorities. Severe punishments are threatened for anyone who disregards these laws. Source: ISRAELI MILITARY ORDERS IN THE OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN WEST BANK 1967-1992

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has accused the Israeli army of obstructing medical access to civilians in the Rafah refugee camp, occupied since last week by Israeli forces. Nasira Butin, local medical coordinator for the charity, said: “Our teams have experienced enormous problems in reaching health centres and parts of town that have come under attack. There seems to be hardly any coordination among the Israeli authorities on the ground, and our teams, though officially authorised to travel, are having guns pointed at them and their path blocked by tanks.

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: The Dahiya doctrine, or Dahya doctrine,[1] is an Israeli military strategy involving the large-scale destruction of civilian infrastructure, or domicide, to pressure hostile governments.[2] The doctrine was outlined by former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of General Staff Gadi Eizenkot. Israel colonel Gabi Siboni wrote that Israel "should target economic interests and the centers of civilian power that support the organization".[3] The logic is to harm the civilian population so much that they will then turn against the militants, forcing the enemy to sue for peace.[3][4] Source: Wiki-Pedia -> Dahiya doctrine

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: Israel’s military offensives in 2008–9, 2012, 2014, 2021 and August 2022 have killed over 4,000 people, including more than 870 children, and pulverized an already fragile infrastructure. Operation Cast Lead in 2008–9 damaged or destroyed 11 wells and four reservoirs, along with pumping stations, a sewage treatment plant, 19,920 meters of water pipes, 2,445 meters of sewage pipes, and sections of the electricity network vital for wastewater treatment. Operation Protective Edge in 2014 inflicted more damage on wells, water reservoirs, wastewater treatment plants, desalination plants and pumping stations.

@ItsJudeaAndSamaria And: The Israeli army regularly conducts incursions into the “buffer zone” area in Gaza, including entering with bulldozers and heavy equipment in order to raze vegetation, flatten roads and expose the terrain. Israel has claimed this activity is necessary for “security reasons.” Figures released by Al Mezan indicate that between January and August 2020 Israel invaded Palestinian farmland near Gaza’s parameter fence on 34 occasions.

In the videos, three teenage brothers from the al-Attar family said that they were forced at gunpoint to kneel in front of tanks to deter Hamas fighters from firing at them and that they were used to "clear" houses for the Israeli soldiers.[51] Source: Wiki-Pedia -> Human shields in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict
