NABLUS, The Israeli occupation authorities today ordered a halt on the construction of 22 houses in Qusra village, southeast of Nablus, according to local sources.

Deputy head of the village council, Imad Jamil, said that Israeli forces delivered stop-construction orders against 22 houses besides to a demolition order against an agricultural shed in the village.

The “Civil Administration” is the name Israel gives to the body administering its military occupation of the West Bank.

Soldiers in the oxymoronically named Civil Administration determine where Palestinians may live, where and when they may travel (including to other parts of the occupied territories like Gaza and East Jerusalem), whether they can build or expand homes on their own land, whether they own that land at all, whether an Israeli settler can takeover that land among others.
