Supreme Court halts construction in Ofra settlement
None
The Supreme Court has issued an injunction halting the construction of dozens of structures in the West Bank settlement of Ofra. Petitioners say the structures are private homes built on land intended for public buildings.
The petitioners, who represent Palestinian residents of the area, also asked the court to demolish the structures, claiming construction proceeded despite earlier orders, but the court refused. (Yair Altman and Aviad Glickman)
