The JSR Situation Room reported that upon arrival at the scene, IDF forces uncovered an extensive network of illegal connections that had been routing water to nearby Arab villages. The pipeline network was concealed beneath layers of soil and vegetation, causing estimated damages totaling hundreds of thousands of shekels to the State of Israel.
Following the discovery, military forces disconnected the illicit taps and destroyed the remaining infrastructure used to divert the water supply, the JSR Situation Room stated.
