Residents fear potential contamination to wells, while neighbors note years of grading activity and a history of warnings since 1986.

Israel reports clashes near Bethlehem and Golan Heights
The army said Arabs in the Dheishe refugee camp near Bethlehem threw stones prompting tear gas and rubber bullets. Seven Palestinians were hospitalized briefly. An official inquiry blamed a 15 year old Jewish settler’s death on a careless Israeli guard, not Palestinian stones, while accusing Beira Arabs of provoking an April 6 confrontation with hikers. In the week’s two infiltrations near Mount Dov in the Golan Heights, three guerrillas and two Israeli soldiers died in a fierce gun battle.
