Date: 04/01/2015
Location: Karma/ Hebron governorate
Perpetrators: the Civil Administration of the Israeli occupation
Victims: residents from Karma village
Details:
The Israeli occupation authorities on January 04/2015served final demolition orders on water cisterns in Karma village, south of Hebron city. The military orders mentioned that the cisterns were unlicensed construction and compelled work termination and restoration of the structure's previous status in a period of only 7 days from the order's date of issuance.
It should be marked that Israeli occupation authorities on September 30, 2014 served stop-work notices on the same cisterns but owners did not object the orders due to their hard financial conditions. Owners were also sure that the occupation will never grant them building permits.
