RAMALLAH, July 6, 2025 (WAFA) – Colonists renewed their dangerous attacks on Palestinian water resources in the Ein Samia area, east of Kafr Malik town, northeast of Ramallah, on Sunday.

The colonists stormed wells (2) and (3), vandalized surveillance cameras installed on the station walls, and destroyed and stole the gate of one of the stations.

In a statement, the Jerusalem Water Utility warned of the disastrous repercussions of these repeated attacks, which directly threaten the continued water supply to communities. The Utility stressed that this escalation constitutes a flagrant violation of international laws guaranteeing the human right to water.

The Utility explained that the "Ein Samia" wells are a vital and essential source for dozens of Palestinian communities in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, and that any attack on them would deprive thousands of citizens of their human right to water, especially in light of the difficult water situation in these areas.

It also confirmed that its technical crews are facing increasing difficulties in accessing and maintaining the well sites due to ongoing attacks by settlers. This disrupts regular monitoring and maintenance operations and exacerbates the damage to the water infrastructure.

The Authority warned that this attack is not the first of its kind, in light of a long series of systematic violations targeting "Ain Samia," which calls for urgent intervention from the international community, human rights organizations, and relevant authorities to protect Palestinian water resources and put an end to the systematic targeting of this vital area by colonists.
