Mahmoud Shawahin who is the son of the structure owner asserted that his father hired an attorney to object the orders but the Civil Administration accompanied by a patrol of the occupation visited, on October 1st, the threatened facility and compelled immediate work termination and demolition on what has been recently built.
Part of the structure (cement walls only ) was intended to be a shelter for Shawahin and his family (14 members) where the other part was planned to be a barn for animal husbandry. Noteworthy, the structure is of 170m2.
Not only that, the occupation, during the same visit, verbally notified citizen Khalil Shawahin that his tent is "unlicensed construction".
