The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) delivered on Thursday military stop-work orders against six Palestinian homes in Artas village southwest of Bethlehem at the pretext of unlicensed construction.
The owners of these homes are Basel al-Lahham Adnan al-Atrash Mohamed al-Qassas Basem Ayesh Ismail Salah and Ibrahim Salah according to Hasan Brejiyya head of the Bethlehem office of the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission.
In recent months the Israeli occupation authority has escalated its demolition campaign and appropriated dozens of dunums of agricultural land in different areas of Bethlehem province as part of settlement expansion plans in the West Bank.
