The Construction and Organization Committee ordered the halt of any construction work in the establishment until the December 27, 2009 which is the date of the hearing in the Israeli Beit El Court regarding construction without permits.

 

During 2009, 20 residential or agricultural structures in the village have received the same orders under the pretext ‘no permits’, especially that the structures are located in areas classified ‘C’ according to Oslo Agreement.
