 The demolition order &  the targeted residence

In March 19 the occupation had questioned the family and took measurements of their home. Noteworthy that martyr Abdul-Rahman Bany Fadel was shot in cold blood by the Israeli occupation army claiming that it is for security purposes.

The house consists of 2 floors, one of them is used as stores, and the second is divided to two apartments each one with an area of 125m². The threatened residence is reported to be an apartment owned by the martyr's father.

The occupation authorities issue military orders with the title (demolishing the place or confiscate…) against families of Palestinians who the Israeli authorities claim that they resist the occupation, following the British mandate of Palestine law 119 of year 1945, knowing that this unjust law was cancelled before 1948. The demolition is a collective punishment against the family of the accused person, the whole family becomes homeless, and nearby structures are harmed.
