The Regavim Movement for Preservation of the Nation's Lands demanded on Friday that Defense Minister Ehud Barak order the destruction of dozens of illegally built next to the Judean Palestinian Authority village of Hussan, between Bethlehem and Beitar Illit, south of Jerusalem.

Attorney Amir Fischer said that with the added staffing for enforcement of the freeze on Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria, the state should proceed with the demolition of the houses, since it had told the Supreme Court previously that it was prevented from doing so by staffing problems.
