The wells were property of Palestinian Abdul-Hameed al-Jamal and his son Samer.
The soldiers raided the Harayiq area Tuesday morning enforced by military vehicles and a bulldozer, locals reported. They handed the owners military decisions to demolish the wells under allegations that they were built without permits.
The sources said skirmishes and scuffles broke out as the IOF soldiers attacked using fists and tear gas canisters.
Several locals suffered from the effects of breathing tear gas.
The same day in the West Bank, IOF soldiers arrested seven Palestinians after conducting search raids on their homes.
The arrestees included two minors from Hosam village west of Bethlehem as well as a 12-year-old boy at Bab al-Zawiya in Al-Khalil province. The latter was said to have been physically assaulted by the soldiers.
