Reuters has reported that Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) conducted air strike, using Kfir fighter jets, on known LTTE targets in the general areas (areas under Government control) of Verugal in the Trincomalee district where the outfit were keeping the sluice gate closed without allowing water to flow into thousands of Sinhalese, Muslims and Tamil villages since July 20. The SLAF spokesperson, Group Captain Ajantha Silva, said, "The government want to send irrigation engineers to the location. That is why we have taken action against identified rebel targets in that area. It was an aerial bombing raid." The Government accused the outfit of blocking water supplies to farmland in Trincomalee, where the Government and outfit both control territory. A Government statement, referring to the air raids, said the "limited operation" was conducted purely on "humanitarian grounds" to neutralize the disruptive forces it said were preventing free flow of water to over 15,000 families. However, S. Elilan, a top LTTE leader in Trincomalee, blaming the military, stated that Sri Lankan air force jets struck three times, wounding two civilians and destroying two houses. He added that the outfit suffered no casualties.

Tensions remained high over the LTTE’s forced closure of the water supply from the Mawilaru Anicut (irrigation channel) to the Seruwila, Muttur and Ichalampattu areas in the Trincomalee district since July 20. Several hundreds of villagers and farmers affected in the water blockade episode joined a massive protest on July 27 evening demanding the LTTE to immediately release water along the canal. The Government Peace Secretariat said, “The LTTE’s forcible closure of this water supply in an area until recently controlled by the Government is a hostile act committed against the civilian population in contravention of the Ceasefire Agreement.” Meanwhile, the LTTE justified their action by claiming that the Sri Lankan Government did not uphold a promise to build a water tower to serve outfit-controlled areas. "We don't see any logic for this kind of aerial bombardment. It is an act of war," said outfit’s military spokesperson Ilanthiraiyan.

The Trincomalee district political wing leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), S. Elilan, reportedly stated that Sri Lanka's four-year cease-fire agreement (CFA) is now void and the country’s two-decade civil war is back on.
