    BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Israeli forces took down and destroyed some 60 solar panels in the isolated village of Jubbet al-Dhib east of Bethlehem city in the southern occupied West Bank on Wednesday morning.

    Head of the village council Rateb Abu Mahamid told Ma’an that Israeli army forces and members of the Israeli Civil Administration raided the village early Wednesday to seize the solar panels, highlighting that they were installed last year by human rights organizations to provide electricity to the remote village, which has “no necessities of life to survive,” according to the Applied Research Institute - Jerusalem (ARJI).

    The village, located in Area C — the more than 60 percent of the occupied West Bank under full Israeli military control — is surrounded by illegal Israeli settlements, and as a result, Israel bars Palestinians from building and being connected to basic infrastructure, Mahamid told Ma’an.

    A spokesperson for the Israeli Civil Administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the issue.

      Les 150 habitants du village de Jubbet al-Dhib, situé dans la localité de Bethlehem en Cisjordanie occupée, sont privés depuis ce mercredi 28 juin 2018 de leur accès à l’électricité. L’armée de l’occupation israélienne a détruit et confisqué une soixantaine de panneaux solaires, installés en 2016 par des organisations de défendre des droits humains, rapporte aujourd’hui Maan News.

      Un des habitants de ce village a expliqué ce matin à cette agence de presse que des éléments de l’armée et des membres de l’administration de l’occupation ont pris d’assaut le village pour confisquer ces panneaux solaires.

      Interrogé par la même source plus tard, ils ont justifié cette opération par le fait que ces installations ont été réalisées « sans permis », affirmant « que le village a d’autres sources d’électricité ».

      Netherlands outraged after Israel seizes Dutch-funded solar panels in West Bank

      BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — The Netherlands has reacted with outrage after Israeli authorities seized dozens of solar panels in a remote occupied West Bank village that were donated by the Dutch government.

      Israeli forces confiscated the solar panels in the isolated village of Jubbet al-Dhib east of Bethlehem on Wednesday that were installed last year, under the pretext that they were built without the nearly impossible to obtain permits required by Israel to develop in Area C — the 61 percent of the West Bank under full Israeli military control.

      A report Saturday by Israeli news daily Haaretz cited a statement from the Dutch Foreign Ministry, that said the Dutch government lodged a protest with Israel over the confiscation of the electricity equipment, which was said to be a hybrid power system of both diesel and solar power.

      The Dutch government-donated electrification project in the southern Bethlehem region cost about 500,000 euros, 350,00 euros of which went to Jubbet al-Dhib, according to the report.

      The Dutch Foreign Ministry has requested Israel return the equipment and is “currently assessing what next steps can be taken,” the ministry’s statement to Haaretz said.

      However, according to Haaretz, “A source close to Dutch diplomats in the West Bank told Haaretz that these softly worded statements cover the anger brewing in the government of the Netherlands, a close friend of Israel’s, at the damage to the humanitarian project.”

      Ma’an reported at the time that 60 solar panels were seized, though Haaretz said that in fact 96 panels were taken down, in addition to other electronic equipment of the system that was also seized, which was funded by the Dutch and installed about nine months ago by the Israeli-Palestinian organization Comet-ME, which builds water and energy systems for Palestinians.

      According to the report, Comet-ME implemented the project with the assistance of the town’s women’s committee using environmentally and socially sustainable methods.
