The so-called Planning Committee of the Civil Administration has served four Palestinian families from Zeta, north of Tulkarm stop work orders on their house, which are located in the western side of the town. It is indicated that the occupation justified the issuance of the orders under the pretext of unlicensed construction within area classified C according to Oslo Accords.

The occupation gave the residents a deadline until 22/12/2013 to complete the licensing procedures. This comes in time with the session of the Planning Committee in the court of Beit El  to consider the status of the structures.

The chairman of Zeta village council Imad al-Bahar to the LRC researcher asserted the following: " the Israeli occupation works hard to displace indigenous from their agricultural lands. It even passed a law banning construction in a 500m range from the segregation wall. I addition, it prohibited any act of expansion on the built-up area of the village. As a result, 11 houses were notified with sop work orders since 2009 until now".
