Civil Administration delivered stop-work orders in Jordan Valley
23 April 2020
On 23 April 2020, Civil Administration personnel arrived with a police escort at the community of Khallet al-Fouleh, west of al-Jiftlik in the Jordan Valley, and delivered orders to desist from “antiquity destruction” for tents and shacks, some of which house seven families and others serve as livestock pens. The community is home to some 40 families with a total of 270 members. A member of one of the families was arrested by the forces and released two days later, after paying a 4,000 NIS fine (1,140 USD). Three days earlier, on April 20, Civil Administration personnel arrived at the village of Kardalah and delivered a stop-work order for a mosque under construction.
