Citizen ‘Issa ‘Aqra’ told LRC:
“April 20th 2021, an army force (three military vehicles) raided our town in Tuesday, one of them is related to the Israeli Civil Administration, and delivered military orders to 13 houses.”
Issa asserted: “The Occupation authorities gave him a halt of work notice for his house, which is licensed from the municipality of Qablan and registered in the name of his wife Rima. Issa tried to talk to the building inspector to get a license from the occupation authorities, but the later refused to listen.”
‘Issa went to “Huwwara military camp” south Nablus to the Israeli Organization Department, and was told that the only thing he can do, is filing a complaint. And that’s what he has done to object, through the Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Center.
