Israel orders halt on construction of two houses east of Bethlehem

BETHLEHEM, The Israeli occupation authorities today ordered a halt on the construction of two houses in Kisan village, east of Bethlehem city, according to local sources.

Deputy Head of the Village Council, Ahmad Ghazal, said that Israeli forces stormed the village and handed Omar and Hussein Ebayyat orders to stop the construction of their houses purportedly for being built without licenses since they are located in Area C, which is under full Israeli military control.

Palestinians are not allowed to build in Area C of the occupied West Bank without an Israeli permit, which is impossible to get.
