Israeli settlers have intensified efforts to seize natural springs and heritage sites in the occupied West Bank, with water from a spring serving the Palestinian village of Fasayil illegally diverted to fill an ancient pool near the settlement of Petzael. Israel's military body COGAT acknowledged the diversion was unauthorized and said it would investigate. Palestinians say the springs are a lifeline for irrigation and tourism.
