On June 7, 2012, the Israeli Occupation Authorities issued stop-work orders for 3 residents, two shacks, and a cisterns in Beit Awwa, western Hebron. The owners stated that Israeli troops broke into an area known as ‘Is’eda’ and distributed the orders. The orders were entitled ‘stop-work orders’ and demanded immediate stoppage of construction on the pretext of no permit.
It also set June 21, 2012, as the date of a hearing session to be held in Beit El Military Court to decide on the fate of the structures.
The owners prepared the needed documents to object to the Israeli orders.

The owners of the threatened structures said that the Israelis claim that the structures were built prior to acquiring proper permits for construction in area classified ‘C’ according to Oslo. They said that they plan for applying for permits despite being almost sure that they will not be granted ones. They also expressed their fear over an Israeli plan to build colonial units on the edges of a road connecting Negohot and Givat Habustan with the checkpoint leading to areas occupied in 1948.
