It should be marked that the demolished house was still in the construction phase; a cement foundation with some pillars are what were brought down. The 180m2 structure was to be home for Abu Maria’s 8 member family including two children.
It should be also marked that Israel Civil Administration served on July 29, 2015 a stop-work order on the same structure on the claim of unlicensed construction.
