Israeli occupation authorities delivered on April 05, 2016 stop-work orders on residential and agricultural structures in the Yatta hamlet of Al-Markiz, south Hebron governorate on the claim of "unlicensed construction".

It should be marked that a massive force from Israel Civil Administration and an army patrol raided the hamlet, hung the orders on the targeted structures and took some photos of the location before the force had left.

The orders mentioned that construction works were "unlicensed" and ordered halt on them. May 02, 2016 was assigned as the hearing session of Inspection Sub-Committee in the court of Beit El colony to consider the status of the notified structures.

Noteworthy, the orders mentioned the possibility to apply for a building license but clearly stated that such licenses will not be granted to the affected citizens. The following table shows information about the affected people and properties:

It should be marked that Israeli occupation authorities have been lately escalating the targeting of structures in the area of Masafer Yatta in order to force people move out their habitat to create an opportunity of takeover; especially due to the proximity of Israeli colonies namely (Karmel, Ma'on, Yaacov Dalia and Susiya)
