Ismail Abu Rabah, the representative of the neighborhood committee, said that occupation forces demolished three livestock barracks, part of a carpentry and a shop that sells construction materials; Hasan Al Bis, the owner of the demolished shop said that it had an area of ​​300 square meters, and was a source of living for ten families. 

Occupation Army surrounded Al Khalayleh neighborhood about a month ago; and prevented the passage of gas and groceries. Also Israel didn't give any building permit for the expansion of the neighborhood since thirty years, forcing the 700 citizens to build without permits. The neighborhood suffered from four demolitions of facilities that belonged to the residents of the neighborhood to make them leave the area and displace them.
