Israeli army delivers stop-work orders against structures in Yatta

Friday 25-February-2022

The Israeli occupation army delivered on Friday stop-work orders against several Palestinian structures in the community of Khilat al-Qarn east of Yatta in southern al-Khalil.

Local official Fuaad al-Amour said that a citizen from Yatta received stop-work orders against a poultry slaughterhouse with its concrete wall a chicken coop and a building.

All the structures belong to one citizen and are located in Khilat al-Qarn.

For many years Yatta and its nearby areas have been exposed to an Israeli demolition campaign intended to displace the local residents and force them to leave to make way for more settlement expansion projects.

In a separate incident the Israeli occupation authority in Jerusalem ordered a Palestinian citizen to evacuate his commercial store within three days as a prelude to demolishing it in Jabel Mukaber neighborhood.

Local residents in Jabel Mukaber say that the IOA frequently issues demolition orders against homes and stores in their neighborhood affirming that owners of 70 homes and stores received demolition notices recently.

About 22000 Palestinian homes and structures across Jerusalem are threatened with demolition according to human rights groups.
