Violation: serving demolition orders
Date: 22/03/2015
Location: Bardala village/ Tubas governorate
Perpetrators: Israel Planning and Construction Committee
Victims: two families from the village
Details:
The Planning and Construction Committee relative to Israel Civil Administration on March 22, 2015 raided the village of Bardala and served two families demolition orders on their agricultural barracks and barns. The orders gave the owners of the structure one week deadline to evacuate before demolition takes place.
It should be marked that the targeted barracks were served stop-work and construction orders in May 2014,under the pretext of unlicensed construction; the owners then started to complete all licensing procedures but the occupation never granted them building and licensing permits. The following table lists information about the affected owners and their structures:
