It should be marked that citizen Mahmoud Al-Adra was preparing a one dunum plot to establish a barrack to be used for cows breeding. The second demolition order was served on a water well for Al-Adra that was implemented by Palestinian Hydrology Group in 2013. The well had a volume of 300m2 that the owner intended to use in his agricultural project.
As for citizen Mousa Al-Adra, he received a demolition order on his agricultural room built of concrete slaps and metal slaps. The room was used as a storage unit for the agricultural tools the farmer used in his land. Noteworthy, the affected citizen has a four dunum plot in the area that he usually plants with winter crops.
