TUBAS, September 19, 2019 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces ordered a halt today on the construction of several residential and agricultural structures in the village of Ras al-Ahmar, near the town of Tubas in the Jordan Valley region, the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Mutaz Besharat, who monitors Israeli violations in the area, said an Israeli military force accompanied by staff from the Israeli Civil Administration broke into the village and handed a notice ordering a halt on the construction of five residential structures and animal barns, under the pretext that they are being built without a permit.

The village is located in Area C of the West Bank, under full Israeli administrative and military control, where Israel rarely issues construction permits to Palestinians, forcing many to build without permits.
