According to the order, the affected owners were given a twenty one day deadline to complete all licensing procedures. This comes in time with the hearing session of Planning and Construction Committee- Israel Civil Administration in the Israeli court of Beit El colony to discuss the legal status of the notified structures.
Noteworthy, the area of Furush Beit Dajan is deprived of basic life needs including services such like water, electricity roads, clinics and telecommunication network. This Israeli practice of deprivation aim at pushing residents out of the area to become an interest for colonial plans.

About Furush Beit Dajan:
It is located in the middle of Palestinian Jordan Valley and is considered an extension of Beit Dajan village, east of Nablus. It has a total population of 1500 people, 50% of which descend from Bedouin origins; sheep grazing and agriculture are the main sources of income for such people
The village has a total land area of 14000 dunums; the occupation confiscated 12000 dunums of it for the sake of establishing the colony of al-Hamra in the western side of the village, the colony of Mekhora in the southern part and a military camp in the eastern side of it.
The village lacks a master plan; a thing that allowed dozens of residences to be notified by the occupation in addition to other dozens that were demolished as a result.
The village has about 450 dunums of protected vegetables and 1600 dunums of citrus plantation.
