Continuous targeting on the area :
It should be marked that the number of residences and workshops notified with stop-work orders including the aforementioned during the years of 2013-2014 reached 15 structures, not mentioning the demolition of a house in April 2014.
The orders intensity is focused on the western side of the neighborhood, which is also nearby the apartheid wall that took over 35% of the area's lands and isolated them behind it.
