It should be marked that the affected families were served stop-work orders on their structures on May 201. Due to the fact the lands on which the structures are founded are neither rented and nor owned by anyone, licensing applications were denied for the structures' owners on September 2015 by Israel Civil Administration . Eventually, the structures got demolished as a result.
It is reported that the affected families come from Ramon village and that they depend on agriculture and livestock as source of income.
The Israeli occupation is known to claim Palestinian constructions "unlicensed" to get them demolished in areas classified "C" according to Oslo Accords. It is an Israeli means to create "reserve" lands for colonial expansionist plans.
