The Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday afternoon stormed al-Zawiya town, west of Salfit, and distributed stop-work orders against four Palestinian buildings under construction.
Local sources told the PIC reporter that several military patrols raided the western neighborhood of al-Zawiya and handed four Palestinian citizens stop-construction orders for allegedly building in Area C.
The buildings are owned by the Palestinian citizens Eyad Shuqeir, Basheer Noureldin, Izzallah Husein, and Abdullah Abdulhalim.
The sources said that these orders fall in line with an Israeli plan to limit the Palestinian construction activity in Salfit, noting that Salfi is the most affected area in the West Bank by Israel's settlement expansion projects.
