Israel attacked Palestinian water sources over 250 times in five years,

Such practices in Gaza, but also in other armed conflicts such as Sudan, constitute violations of international law, and have been documented as patterns of behaviour that constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, that in the case of Gaza in particular, are an important part of a genocidal strategy,” said Arrojo.

“Israel has systematically used water to displace and segregate the Palestinian population in their own territories, illegally occupied since 1967, as part of its strategy of apartheid and progressive colonization,” he added.

There are multiple sources. I've listed a few above.

Nope. These are still accusations.

As usual, one sided accusations are not facts:

Palestinian well drilling has been cited in some reports as a contributing factor to the depletion and contamination of shared water sources in the West Bank, which in turn has impacted water availability for both Palestinian and Israeli communities.
Impact of Illegal Palestinian Wells

  • Aquifer Depletion/Contamination: Unregulated drilling and a lack of sufficient wastewater treatment facilities in Palestinian areas have contributed to the over-extraction and pollution of the shared Mountain Aquifer, a primary water source for both populations.
  • Agricultural Impact: A 2014 paper noted that illegal Palestinian well drilling led to reduced agricultural activity by Israeli farmers in nearby valleys due to a decrease in natural water discharge.
  • Water Loss: Reports have also indicated a significant amount of water supplied to the Palestinian Authority is lost to leakage due to poor pipeline conditions and illegal connections to the main water infrastructure.

Doesn’t it strike you as odd that Israel allows Palestinians to have internet connectivity (it is controlled by Israel) to enable them to report on all the evil Jew doing but doesn’t let them have water?

Here's a good one.

The Occupation of Water

The legacy of Israel’s 50-year occupation of the Palestinian territories has been systematic human rights violations on a mass scale. One of its consequences is the impact of Israel’s discriminatory policies on Palestinians’ access to clean and safe wa...

Perhaps if the Israeli military, who control Palestinian water supply, allowed them the same access to the water supply network that the settlers access they wouldn't need to drill or store rainwater.

And here’s one with the situation from the other side.

I always find it more honest to get both sides views, don’t you?

You know the thing about accusations is that if one party is accused by one side, and denies the accusation, there should be some kind of independent verification, such as the articles I posted but if you think they are biased, there is another way. If the accused does not deny the accusation, then that means the accusation is verified. So let me put this back on you. Israel has been accused of limiting Palestinians supply to water, both through policy and state sponsored settler attacks by multiple entities. If you don't believe it please show me where Israel has denied that they restrict water supply to Palestinian villages.

All the links I gave you were from independent sites. You on the other hand post a link from NGO Monitor. (NGO Monitor is a Jerusalem-based organization that analyzes and reports on the activities of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly those involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, from a pro-Israel perspective). Nevertheless, I read the report. Let me ask you a simple logical question. Why would Palestinians have to drill 240 illegal wells if they had adequate supply to water.

It’s not a new activity @CrispyKnees do you know nothing of history, state documents prove it
