The Israeli Occupation Forces raided on August 08, 2017 Silwad town and issued military stop-work orders targeting a private school, a number of houses and some commercial workshops.
The occupation claimed that the targeted structures were "unlicensed" in area classified "C" according to Oslo Accords. Noteworthy, part of the school is located in area "B" ( under Palestinian authority), where the other part is within the boundaries of area "C" ( under Israeli control and authority).
According to the orders, the occupation assigned September 04, 2017 as the hearing session of Planning and Construction Committee- Israel Civil Administration in the Israeli court of Beit El to discuss the legal status of the notified structures.
It is reported that the targeted school was established in 2011 and now accommodates 400 students from KG1 to tenth grade.
