Abu Ayyash said that a six family members benefited from the structure. He also pointed out that the Israeli occupation authorities served the structure a stop-work order in 2005 and a demolition order in 2014. At time, Abu Ayyash objected to the orders in Israel Supreme Court ; he submitted a master plan of the plot as an evidence but the occupation refused to grant him a building permit.

Structure of Khalid Samahin:

The occupation dozer also demolished another chicken barrack owned by citizen Mohammad Samahin. Noteworthy, Samahin's structure is located right next to Abu Ayyash's.

The affected citizen said that workers accompanying the force evacuated some of the structure's interior while others disconnected the power in preparation for the dozer to demolish the barrack.

In addition to demolishing the 650m2 barrack, the dozer reached out Samahin's 100m2 room that was used as a resting room for the facility workers.

It should be marked that Samahin received a stop-work order on his structure on January 24, 2005. Thus, the citizen prepared a legal file to license his structure but the occupation issued on February 22 a "final demolition order" on structure.

Surprisingly, the occupation served on August 27, 2015 an "additional opportunity to object demolition" order within a three day deadline only. Samahin immediately objected to the order using the same evidence of the Abu Ayyash but the demolition was approved effective.
