The Israeli occupation authorities today issued stop-work orders against 19 Palestinian-owned buildings in the town of al-Zawiyeh, west of the northern West Bank city of Salfit.

Deputy mayor of al-Zawiyeh, Ghassan Shqeir, told WAFA that Israeli forces broke into the town and posted on walls and doors or handed local residents the stop-work orders that included a mosque, inhabited houses and others which are still in the construction stage in the northeastern parts of the town.

The stop-work orders are usually a prelude to demolishing the buildings.
