Israeli settlers diverted a spring lifeline for Fasayil, leaving nearby farms barren

Reuters reports Israeli settlers diverted a spring that irrigated the Palestinian village of Fasayil in the Jordan Valley. Palestinians say settlers cut irrigation pipes in June, rerouted the water to fill an ancient pool in an archaeological site, and later advertised the pool as an Israeli tourist attraction. Farmers say their water supply remains cut off, preventing them from planting crops and causing livelihood losses. Palestinians also describe threats and violence connected to attempts to approach the spring.
