Affected villager Khalid Abu Ar-Rub told LRC observer:
“I own a piece of land in the northern side of Jelbun village, Last December I started constructing a house for my family (6 members) due to the lack of spaces in the built up area of the town, I had to build out of it in what the occupation considers area C, Last July I received a stop work order for my house and water cistern. I went to “Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Center” who now follow up the case in the Israeli court, and I am working on getting a permission. Destroying my house is a true disaster, I put all I had in building the house, If It was demolished my family will become homeless”.
According to the reports, there are more than 9 threatened structures in Jalbun area since 2012.
About Jalbun:
12 kilometer north east of Jenin, Jalbun is surrounded by Al Mughayyir and Fuqua (north), Al Mughayyir (south), Deir Abu Daef (west).
Jalbun has a population of 3400 people according to statistics conducted by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics in 2017. It has a total area of 9,308 of which 590 dunums are a built-up area of the village.
The Israeli occupation devoured more than 7850 dunums of the lands of the village for the colonies and the Apartheid Wall. It is worth knowing that colonies of Gilboa and King Joshua were built on the international truce line, i.e. on Jalbun lands occupied in the 1948 war.
