It should be marked that the residences' owners denied receiving stop work and demolition orders which are mentioned in the additional opportunity order but they all asserted receiving stop work orders only. Owners ,then, headed to Jerusalem Center for Legal Aid and submitted an object through Attorney Husam Jaraja and a licensing application for their houses as well. The attorney to Amjad said that the order was suspended but to the owners' surprise, demolition orders were served on their structures. Therefore, citizens referred to the attorney who told them to postpone the issue until 17/10/2014.
