Ofra residents ask court to seal homes instead of razing them
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNine families in the West Bank settlement of Ofra whose homes are slated for demolition after a court found they had been built on private Palestinian land have petitioned the High Court, asking that their homes be sealed instead of razed, according to media reports.
The residents are hoping that the newly passed Regulation Law will pave the way for their homes to be retroactively legalized and unsealed.
The court-ordered demolitions are to take place by March 5, after the court granted a one-month stay two weeks ago.
The delay was granted to allow security forces to prepare for the evacuation operation.
