Description

HEBRON, February 23, 2012 (WAFA) – The Israeli authorities Thursday issued notices to stop construction work on eight Palestinian houses in the Hebron area village of Surif as a prelude to demolish them under the pretext they were built without permit, according to the Land Research Center (LCR).

A field researcher at the center said that Israeli forces along with officers from the Civil Administration, the Israeli military government’s arm in the West Bank, threw the notices near the house before leaving the village.

The notices said there will be a court hearing February 29 to look into what it called “demolition of a construction and turning it back to its previous state.”

Owners said the houses were inhabited and were built 10 years ago.
