“We will pitch a tent at my home location and we will not allow the occupation to do its plots and expel us from our own land,” Abu Turki said.
IOA has always threatened to expose Palestinian homeowners to very high demolition fees and fines for demolition, forcing them to knock down or move their homes. (T/RE1)
