5 Stop-Work Orders Khallit Hajar east Yatta – Hebron governorate

Violation: stop-work orders for 5 under-construction residences that were to receive 31 people including 8 children.

Perpetrators: the Israeli Occupation Civil Administration, the Higher Organization Council.

Victim: Abu Shkheidem and Azazma families.

Location: Khallit al Hajar, Yatta, Hebron.

Date: September 13, 2011.

 

The Israeli Occupation Authorities issued 5 stop-work orders against 5 residences in Khallit al Hajar, eastern Yatta. Mohammad abu Shkheidem stated that Israeli troops broke into his village and distributed the orders on September 13, 2011. The orders demanded the immediate stoppage of any construction work in the designated houses and specified September 27, 2011 as the date of the hearing session in Bet El Military Court.

 

The owners started building their houses in 2010 and 2011 and they are in the late construction phases. The owners complained about the Israeli measures and said that the Israelis who expelled them in 1948 are still chasing them away. They hastily appointed an attorney to object to the orders while sounding anxious about the huge cost of the unguaranteed process of issuing permits. They demanded assistance from all the concerned parties and requested financial support and consultancy.
