The Israeli occupation forces today issued stop work and construction orders against a house, a road, and other structures, east of Yatta, south of the southern West Bank city of Hebron. Osama Makhamreh, an activist against settlements, told WAFA that the occupation forces stormed east of Yatta and handed the stop work and construction orders to a local resident against his 250-square-meter house under the pretext it was built in Area C, which is under full Israeli military control. The occupation forces also issued a stop work order against a water well, a cesspit, and a cement wall for another resident, and photographed a one-story house, which has an area of 150 square meters, and another three-floors house with an area of 500 square meters whose owners were previously notified to stop work in these two houses. Makharmeh said the occupation forces notified Khallet al-Mayah village council to stop work on a road that serves a large number of the residents of that area. He noted that the occupation authorities and settler groups have recently escalated their daily attacks against residents in the Yatta area and al-Masafer issuing demolition orders against homes and structures, destroying infrastructure, and depriving residents of construction, drinking water, electricity, roads, and other basic necessities of life.
