The Israeli occupation army delivered on Wednesday stop-work orders against 11 Palestinian homes in Jiftlik village north of Jericho at the pretext of unlicensed construction.
According to local sources some of these houses are under construction and others were built in 1960 and 1975.
Meanwhile the Israeli army’s blockade of the occupied West Bank city of Jericho continued for the 12th consecutive day on Wednesday.
Makeshift military checkpoints were set up 12 days ago by the Israeli army at all the main entrances and side roads leading to Jericho according to local sources.
Such a measure has resulted since then in heavy build-ups of traffic as soldiers thoroughly inspect drivers and commuters’ identity cards and their belongings.
