At least according to the post below, aren't there supposed to be a number of Olympic sized swimming pools in the occupied territories?

Mind you the first two pools listed in the article are citations from 6 and 9 years ago, and one at a "resort" in Bethlehem. A quick search of the web, has not resulted in any update on these first two pools, and whether they still operate - both seem to be drawn from a single - very old - citation. However, I do not read Arabic, so cannot search in the original language for more recent information.

Not exactly a winning piece of reporting. Igel Aug 2016 #5

Seems like you didn't think that one through... Little Tich Aug 2016 #6

It's shabby reporting. Hamas has no interest in solving the problem. shira Aug 2016 #9
