He said that Suleiman Shahin, an attorney of law, was assigned to represent the villagers in Israeli Courts. The under-construction mosque is 90 m2 in area. The villagers finished building the walls but not the ceiling nor the floor. He said that the locals, with the help of international activists, launched the ‘return of survival’ campaign to finish the construction of the mosque and rebuild a number of houses that were demolished by the Israeli Occupation Authorities in order to ensure the locals survival and ability to face the Israeli colonial plans.
On June 10, 2012, the Israeli Occupation Authorities issued stop-work orders for two residential tents under the pretext of unlicensed construction; the tents are property of Fadel Hamamda. The order, numbered 149822, set June 21, 2012 as the date for a hearing session before the Inspection Subcommittee to decide on the fate of the tents.
One of the structures is a 15-m2 brick-building with a sackcloth cover whereas the other is a 50-m2 tent.
