It must be noted that similar orders were issued for structures in the nearby Susiya. The orders were issued in compliance with a request made by Raghvem colonial society in mid 1990’s and 2000. The locals were given a 3 day respite.
Qamar Mashreqi, an attorney of law, was given the task to object to the Court Orders. The locals said that there is an Israeli plan to make them move away. They pointed to the losses they received due to their dependence on cattle.
