A photocopy of the order
Its worthy to mention that the Israeli Occupation Army confiscated huge areas to construct a security wall around Barqan colony; the proposed wall made capturing Palestinian lands a much easier task. Barqan expanded by adding a number of industrial plants which gained export previlige in order to attract more investments in colonies in the West Bank despite the environmental hazards they impose.
