Details:
The Israeli occupation authorities on January 29, 2015 demolished a agricultural barrack and a room in the village of Idhna, west Hebron.
Citizen Abu Juhaisheh to a researcher from Land Research Center said the following : " at 5:00 a.m. , an Israeli force of 10 military jeeps, a digger and a bulldozer raided the area of Wad Risha, west of the Idhna and embarked on demolishing my 1000m2 structure that I built in 2010; I use this structure to shelter my cows and part of it I use as a junk yard"
He also added : " I have received a stop-work order on my structure under the pretext of unlicensed structure but I did not object the order knowing that the Israeli occupation authorities will not grant me a building permit".
Abu Juhaisheh pointed out that an officer from the Civil Administration came to the barrack location and asked him to demolish it; the officer gave the citizen a deadline until January 26, 2015 to restore the previous status of the structure otherwise the occupation will demolish it and confiscate the interior. As a result, the citizen vacated the cows and started removing the barrack's roof. Despite that, the occupation authorities came today and demolished the structure.
