The Israeli occupation army on Wednesday notified the local residents of Kisan village south of Bethlehem in the West Bank of its intent to demolish Abu Hurayrah Mosque.
Local sources said the Israeli army delivered a final stop-work and demolition order against the Mosque in the village.
The Israeli army threatened to take legal action against the stakeholders and raze the Mosque at their own expense if the Mosque was not demolished soon.
Kisan village has been exposed over years to widespread land theft by Israel in order to build and expand the illegal settlements of Ma’ale Amos and Mitzpe Shalem and the outpost of Eibi Hankhal.
In addition vast tracts of land were also annexed from the village to build a military base and several roads for Jewish settlers.
