The orders targeted a power grid relative to Idhna municipality and a construction foundation.

It should be marked that the Israeli occupation authorities target the western part of Idhna town with stop-work and demolition orders on the claim of "unlicensed construction", taking into account that that part of the town is the demographic expansion area. Also, lands in that area are considered agricultural and are considered a source of income for many families.
