QALQILYA, December 7, 2015 (WAFA) –
Israeli authorities Monday ordered
18 Palestinians building homes in al-Naqar neighberhood, west of Qalqilya, to halt
construction of homes, said the owners.
Abu
Thaer, owner of one of the notified homes, said Israeli army forces broke into
the neighborhood and handed notifications to stop the construction of a total
of 18 different homes.
He explained
that owners of the notified homes have obtained construction permits issued by
Qalqilya municipality, and they are included in the city’s master plan.
Many
of the notified homes have been constructed and inhabited for more than ten
years, which only makes these orders an attempt of collective punishment
against the neighborhood’s inhabitants because of the ongoing clashes with
Israeli soldiers in the area, Abu Thaer said.
Security
source identified the owners as Mohammad Adel Anaya, Mumen Jaydie, Abdulkareem
Jaydie, Amir Jbara, Abu Emad al-Dalo, Yaser Daas, Mohammad Nofal, Abdulhalim
Jaydie, Sameh Enaya, Siham Qatawy.
The source
added that some of the homes are still under construction while others have
been constructed and inhabited for many years.
