The affected citizen Youssef Abdel Hamid Marouh Hanini (the number of his family is 7) told the field researcher of the Land Research Center as follows:

The affected citizen also added:
“That the Israeli construction and organization officer handed him a report on the demolition of the plastic house to object to the demolition if he so desired, and told him that the demolition took place because it was built in a military training and maneuver area therefore the officer does not need to give Hanini a notification before the demolition”.
Azim al-Hajj Muhammad, head of the village council of Frush Beit Dajan, told the field researcher of the Land Research Center as follows:
“The occupation army arrived at the site of the greenhouse and proceeded to demolish it without warning, neither to the village council nor to the affected citizen, on the pretext that the greenhouse was built in a military training area, according to the Israeli officer. This demolition does not need a warning or notification”.
It is noteworthy that the Frush Beit Dajan village council participated in all the workshops of the project to protect the Palestinian right to land and housing, which is implemented by the Land Research Center with funding from the European Union.
