Details:
On June 5, 2012, a Palestinian farmer found an eviction order designated for a plot owned by Rana Tbeila of Bethlehem. The farmer took the order to Al Khader Municipality where they contacted the owner. The target area is 3 dunums. 3 years ago, the owner rehabilitated the plot with a total cost of 40,000 ILS. On the other hand, another similar notification was found for a 10-dunum-plot. However, the owner of the order was unknown so no further action was taken.
