Hebron: Israeli occupation authorities have issued demolition and stop-work orders affecting several Palestinian structures in the Iskaka community southeast of Yatta, within the southern West Bank governorate of Hebron.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, anti-settlement activist Osama Makhamra reported that a final seven-day demolition notice was delivered for the Palestine Basic Co-educational School. The school, which serves around 130 students from grades one through four and includes a kindergarten, is constructed of bricks and tin sheets.
Israeli forces have also issued a halt-work order for a vital water pipeline that supplies the Iskaka area and adjacent communities. Makhamra highlighted that this action poses a threat to the residents' daily water access, worsening the already difficult living conditions in the region.
In addition, a demolition order was issued to Ibrahim Mahmoud Abu Subha for his two-story, 300-square-meter home. Another notice was given to Mohammad Ayyed Abu Subha to stop construction on his 140-square-meter house.
Further stop-work orders targeted homes owned by Raafat Rizq Al-Shamasti (140 square meters), Omar Hamad Al-Nawajeh (a two-story, 400-square-meter house), and Riyan Mohammad Abu Subha (a two-story, 300-square-meter house).
These actions are part of an ongoing policy by Israeli authorities to target Palestinian residential communities, aiming to displace residents and expand illegal colonies by depriving them of essential rights and infrastructure.
