“After receiving the notice we assigned a lawyer from Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights department to submit a petition, but the occupation refused the submission and decided to demolish the stands due to their location nearby the Annexation and Expansion Wall, noting that the stalls provided a source of income for us during these difficult times.”
