So, normal occupation stuff then? They have very little drinking water already.

Having access to a few litres for drinking, cooking and minimal hygiene is still a far stretch away from having no access to clean water.

Typical water use in developed countries ranges between 100 litres and 400 litres a day per person, but you can get by temporarily with as little as 15 litres per person and day. https://www.who.int/teams/environment-climate-change-and-health/water-sanitation-and-health/environmental-health-in-emergencies/humanitarian-emergencies

Fully cutting the water supply like announced is a severe escalation of the humanitarian situation and beyond the "normal occupation stuff."

Waaaaay beyond normal. 100% agree with you on that. This is a cruel punishment and target the whole people because their goal is to kill everyone of them and take the rest of the land, probably move into Lebanon after that. Sad fuxking sad.
