Details:

The Bedouin community of Al-Hathrorah, southwest Jericho witnessed on August 21, 2016 an Israel attack implemented by the so-called Planning and Construction Committee- Israel Civil Administration. It should be marked that a force from the Israeli occupation army accompanied by the civil administration raided the Bedouin community of Arab Al-Hamadin and embarked on serving stop-work orders on metal rooms gifted by Ministry of Wall Affairs to provide relief for the residents affected by previous demolition.

In addition to that, the force notified a kindergarten of stop-work;  the structure is a residential tent of 72m² that is used to educate 11 children from the community.  A room used for gatherings in the community was also served a stop-work notice alongside with a number of tents and agricultural tents that are used for sheep.

According to the orders, the affected were given a deadline until September 04, 2016 to complete all licensing procedures. This comes in time with the hearing session of the Inspection Sub-Committee of the Israeli Civil Administration in the Israeli court of Beit El colony to consider the status of the notified structures.

Moreover, Israeli occupation forces confiscated on June 05, 2016 six residential tents and a mobile room from families of the same community on the claim of them being located in "closed military zone".
