In a new wide-scale campaign of stop-work orders on Palestinian houses, the Planning Committee of the Civil Administration served on November 05, 2014 stop-work orders on residential and industrial structures in the villages of al-Funduq and Jinsafut under the pretext of unlicensed construction within area classified C according to Oslo Accords.
The military orders reached out a furniture factory , which is a source of income for more than 30 families , three residences in al-Funduq village and one house in Jinsafut.
The Israeli authorities gave the structures' owners a deadline until November 20, 2014 to complete all licensing procedures. This comes in time with Planning Committee session in the court of Beit El to consider the status of the notified structures. The following table shows information about the affected citizens:

It should be mentioned that the number of stop-work and demolition orders have exceeded 90, of which 28 were served on houses in Jinsafut since 2000. (source: council of Qalqiliya villages). The Israeli policy of notifying structures is became more of a psychological war on residents; the Israeli authorities randomly demolish the notified houses to plant fear in citizens, who in this regard refuse to surrender and insist on staying on the land in which they were born.
Land Research Center documented the assaults and violations Jinsafut underwent during 2014 as follows :
- 1300 dunums land grab in Jinsafut on 22/01/2014 (Ar, Eng)
- Emmanuel colonists cut down 14 aging trees in Jinsafut (Ar, Eng)
- Expansion works on the outpost of Nevi Mannheim on 20/05/2014 (Ar, Eng)
