Israel hands demolition orders to 17 Nablus-area families

17/08/2009

Nablus – Ma’an – Israeli authorities handed official notices to 17 Palestinian families in the northern West Bank informing them that their homes would be demolished, an official told Ma'an on Monday.

According to Ghassan Daghlas, the Palestinian Authority's official monitor of settler activity in the north, the notices were handed over in Salem, a village south of Nablus.

Daghlas identified some of the families whose homes were threatened as Ramiz Shtayya, Rami Shtayya, Wadi’ Muhammad, Raed Haydar, Murad Haydar, Muhtasib Karaki, Zahir Jabbour, Muhammad Shtayya, and Mus’ab Jabbour.

On Thursday night, Israeli troops overran the Jericho-area village of Fasayil and delivered a stop-work order on renovations ongoing in the home of one resident.

Muhammad Mahmoud An-Nawawreh, whose home is on the outskirts of the village, was building an addition on his home for his son, who was engaged this year and expected to marry next summer.

Troops surrounded his home and delivered the stop-work order, which is generally followed by a demolition order.

There are nine settlements surrounding the Jordan Valley village on four sides, with a single corridor less than 500 meters wide. They are also flanked by settlements for more than five kilometers, which close off the village from other Palestinian areas.
