The military orders claimed that the structures are unlicensed and compelled a halt on construction works. June 08, 2015 was set as the hearing session of the Planning and Construction Committee in the Israeli court of Beit El to consider the status of the notified structures.

 The notified structures are:

  1. A storehouse for fodder: a 28m2 tent that was set up in 2013 for storing ends.
  2. Chicken barn: a 20m2 structure(cloth shade, wooden corners and barbed wires) that was built in 2005 to provide living for the citizen’s 7 member family.

It should be marked that the Israeli occupation escalated the wave of serving military orders on the village of Susiya in an attempt to displace the residents of the area. This comes after the decision of Israel Supreme Court to demolish the whole hamlet.
