West Bank spring diverted without authorization to ancient Herod pool
x/west-bank
— 6h
Israeli settlers diverted water from a spring serving the Palestinian village of Fasayil to fill a nearby ancient pool promoted as a tourist attraction, damaging Palestinian farmland. The land is reported to be privately owned, and Israel’s COGAT agency acknowledged the diversion was unauthorized and said it would investigate, amid broader efforts to control West Bank springs and heritage sites.
