Details:
On April 05, 2016, farmers from Beit Dajan village were surprised to find a demolition order served on a power grid in the area.
The demolition order number 391943 gave the affected a three day deadline to object to a previous demolition order that was served on March 2013.
The chairman of Beit Dajan village council, Nasr Abu Jeish, told Land Research Center that the order targeted 30 electricity poles, which were set up during many phases since 2008 and until 2016. The poles serve 24 residences and the number is more likely to increase since the area is only the breather in the village.

If demolished, the chance to establish any developmental project in the area will become zero and the area will severely suffer at all levels.
It should be marked that the Israeli Occupation Forces also served demolition orders on a chicken farm and water pool in synchronization with the order served on the power grid.
