Israeli Supreme Court on Tuesday issued orders to raze 17 housing units in the random outpost West Tapuah which is built on private Palestinian land in Yasuf town east of Salfit.
Head of the Yasuf council Hafeth Abdul Halim said that 14 Palestinian people appealed six years ago to the Supreme Court demanding the demolition of the illegal outpost built over 100 dunums of their lands.
He pointed out that the outpost separates 3000 dunums away from their owners’ residence places saying that settlers used to plant and graze sheep in those lands. They cut the old trees that were previously planted by Palestinians he added.
The court ruled that Israeli authorities have until June 2018 to evacuate and raze 17 homes in the outpost of West Tapuah. The Palestinian owners of the lands appealed to the court in this regard he pointed out.
