The targeted facilities
One of the Victims Ahmed ‘Awad told LRC:
“During the last year, the occupation demolished 600 m of retaining walls and banks around the four dunums plot. Despite bringing the necessary ownership papers for the land, once I finished building the retaining walls, I received a halt of work notice. We conclude, that even when we are trying to live a normal life, we’re still prone to the Occupation’s violations.”
