Details:
The Israeli occupation authorities on November 10,2014 served " stop-work" notices on a school and two structures in the village of Ma'in in Yatta town in Hebron governorate.
The military orders mentioned that the structures were unlicensed construction and compelled immediate termination of work. December 03,2014 was assigned for the so-called Planning Committee hearing session in the court of Beit El to consider whether to demolish the structure or restore its status quo.
Citizen Mohamad Makhamra asserted that a force from Israel Civil Administration accompanied by army came to the school and left the stop-work order there and then issued two other orders on structures in the same area. In the context of legal defense, the notified people prepared a legal file through Saint Yves association to object the order and obtain building permits in the Israeli courts.
The military orders reached out the following :
- Ma'in mixed-gender primary school : a 240m2 building that was built in 2009 and leased in 2011 to become a school. The school includes grades from the 1st to the 5th and accommodates around 120 students.
