Details:
Israeli Occupation Forces raided on March 11, 2018 Silwad town from the eastern side; more specifically the area known as " Jabal Al-Asour" and demolished an under construction agricultural barrack under the pretext of unlicensed construction within area classified C according to Oslo Accords. Reportedly, the structure is of 90m2 in area and was built by metal slabs.
It is reported that the structure is owned by farmer Kheirallah Amer (47), who told Land Research Center that he embarked on establishing the barrack a year ago to house his sheep in it. At time, the farmer was served a stop-work order from the occupation and Kheirallah sought a legal organization to follow up on his case. Despite all legal efforts, the Israeli court of Beit El ruled the demolition of the structure.
The structure was the citizen's only source of livelihood to support a six member family including three children, taking into account that it cost 22,000 NIS.
