Violation: 19 demolition orders.
Location: Sh’ab al Butum – Hebron Governorate.
Date: May 25, 2010.
Victims: ‘Izzat al Najjar, ‘Izzat al Jabarin, and Hatem al Jabarin.
The Israeli Occupation Authorities handed a number of residents of Sh’ab al Butum 19 stop-work and demolition orders against 19 agricultural structures. The Israeli Occupation Authorities had previously handed other 16 on April 13, 2010.
According to the locals, the Israeli soldiers informed them that the demolitions are going to be carried out within a week which forced the victims to leave the area looking for another shelter. However, since the order is still pending execution, the owners went back to their tents and houses, anxiously waiting yet not hoping for the day the dozers appear.
