Perpetrators: the Israeli Occupation so-called Organization and Construction Committee.

Victim: Abed Fawaghra.

 

On March 10, 2012, the owner found a stop-work order somewhere around the house which has been inhabited for over 5 months. The house construction costs were estimated to be around 160,000 ILS. It is a one-story building with a total area of 184 m2. The segregation wall section in the area edges the target house and that’s why it has become a target. The family cooperated with Bethlehem Governorate and the Society of Saint Yves to file an objection in Israeli Courts. The owner, Abed Fawaghra, is the sole supporter of his 5-member family that includes 3 children.

 

Wad Rahhal is located to the south of Bethlehem. The village was established in 1890 and most of its inhabitants are of Fawaghra family. It is inhabited by 1419 people. PCBS 2007
