The Israeli occupation authorities on September 16, 2015 served a stop-work and demolition order on a construction location owned by Citizen Mousa Al-Adra from the area of Al-Deirat in Yatta town. Al-Adra said that a staff from Israel Civil Administration accompanied by an army patrol arrived at the place, left the order in the location and took some photos of the scene before they had left.

The construction location is of 750m2 in area; it was supposed to accommodate a group of commercial stores. The Israeli occupation authorities ordered the halt of all construction works and the demolition of what has been so far established within a one week deadline.
The Israeli occupation authorities on June 30, 2015 served a stop-work order on the same location and assigned, through the order, July 27, 2015 as the hearing session of the Inspection Sub-Committee of Israel Civil Administration in the court of Beit El to consider the status of the notified place.

It should be marked that the notified person could not attend the court’s session due to lacking knowledge on objecting to such orders. Thus, Al-Adra has been recently served a demolition order on his construction location previously notified with stop-work.
Noteworthy, the affected person was given the proper guidance to object military orders after being visited by a researcher from Land Research Center.
