Israel orders stop on construction of structures south of Hebron

Israeli forces today ordered a stop on the construction of several structures in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, according to local sources.

Head of Susya Village Council said that Israeli soldiers barged their way into the village, where they handed notices ordering a halt on the construction of a livestock shack, a residential room, a water well and a children park that was established with funds from Save the Children in 2017.

Masafer Yatta is a collection of almost 19 hamlets which rely heavily on animal husbandry as the main source of livelihood.

Located in Area C of the West Bank under full Israeli administrative and military control, the area has been subjected to repeated Israeli violations by settlers and soldiers in an effort to force the Palestinians to leave it.
