It should be noted that Israeli Occupation Forces also demolished two barracks for livestock. The first barrack (80m² ) belongs to Mohmmad and Hussein Jahalin and  shelters 40 sheep where the second one (100m² ) belongs to Ghassan Jahalin and shelters 100 sheep.

Citizen Mohammad Khalil Jahalin told Land Research Center the following:

" We have been living here since years ago; it is after we moved from the area of Bir Al-Masoub. When we first came here, we established residences from cement blocks and metal slaps but we didn’t receive any demolition orders from Israel Civil Administration. Today, we were surprised to see the dozers of the occupation demolishing the residences without even letting us save any of the interior".
