It should be marked that Huwwara town witnesses constant targeting by the occupation forces. The bypass road no. 60 that travels through the town causes a huge dilemma for the residents since the occupation forces usually break into the area on the claim of "securing colonists", who travel by the road.
At the level of structures and residences, the data of Huwwara municipal council confirmed that nine houses have been served stop-work orders since 2005 on the claim of "unlicensed construction".
