Victim: Khalil al Azza.

 

Details:

 

On February 6, 2013, the Israeli Occupation Army demolished an under construction residence and a cistern, property of Khalil al Azza. The owner said that Israeli troops accompanied by a jackhammer broke into the plot before the dozer embarked on knocking down the cistern and the columns which formed the foundation of the residence. He pointed that he received a stop-work order on July 17, 2012 and another on August 21, 2012. He said that he suffered from a disease that forced him to be admitted to hospital and that he was too concerned about his health situation rather than following up the orders.
