Violation: serving stop-work orders
Date: 24/02/2015
Location: Nablus governorate
Perpetrators: Inspection Subcommittee – the Israeli Occupation Civil Administration.
Victims: 7 Palestinian families
Details:
A massive force from the Israeli occupation army accompanied by a staff from the Civil Administration on February 24, 2015 raided the area of Bet Dajan, east Nablus city and handed a number of families out stop-work orders on four agricultural barracks and a under construction house. This came under the pretext of building within area classified C according to Oslo Accords and without having previous arrangements with the Israeli side, which according to the accords is the responsible of such areas' classifications.
The military orders gave the owners of the notified structure a deadline until March 15, 2015 to complete all licensing procedures; this comes in time with the hearing session of the Planning and Construction Committee in the military court of Beit El to consider the status of the notified structures.
