Israeli authorities issued demolition and construction halt notices Thursday against four residential structures belonging to family members of citizen Khaled Rahhal in the Ras al-Shamali area of Arabeh village, south of Jenin, Shehab Wire reported. The notices target homes situated on lands adjacent to an Israeli settlement in the area.
The order follows a pattern of demolition directives against Palestinian properties across the occupied West Bank. Residents of Arabeh and the neighboring village of Araneh have faced repeated notices regarding residential and commercial structures over recent months. Israeli authorities typically justify such orders by citing building permits they claim were not obtained, though Palestinians maintain the permits are impossible to secure under occupation law.
