• *  On 29.10.2015, the HCJ held a hearing on HaMoked’s petitions against the intended punitive demolition of six homes. In the hearing, in view of the state’s practice of delaying the execution of demolition orders which the court had already approved, the justices instructed the state to supply the details of all issued demolition orders which the court had approved since 2013, including the dates of the judgment and actual demolition in each case. This court demand has led HaMoked to monitor the demolition dates, presented herein.
