REUTERSThe Israeli army destroyed water pipelines and detained two Palestinians in separate raids Monday across the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.
Palestinian human rights activist Aref Daraghmeh said Israeli forces destroyed water pipelines in the Atouf and Ras al-Ahmar areas of Tubas governorate.
In the northern Jordan Valley, Israeli forces detained two Palestinian brothers in the Ein al-Hilweh area, local sources told Anadolu.
The United Nations and most countries consider Israeli settlements built on occupied Palestinian land illegal under international law and say they undermine prospects for a two-state solution.
The Israeli Peace Now movement estimates that about 500,000 occupiers live in the West Bank, in addition to about 250,000 in illegal settlements in East Jerusalem.
