It is worth mentioning that the families were targeted before and houses and pens destroyed under the pretext of unlicensed construction in an area classified C according to Oslo Accords. People were mercilessly misplaced after losing shelter. In the same context, the Civil Administration sent two Bedouin families in ‘Atof and Al Hema stop-work orders for their residential and agricultural structures on the pretext of unlicensed construction in an area classified C according to Oslo Accords.

It should be remarked that the Israeli occupation carried out large-scale demolition operations destroying residential and agricultural structures in the last two years. These operations made 107 Palestinians, including 52 children, homeless.
