Inspection of illegal buildings in Israel and West Bank

Israel’s Attorney-General Mazuz complained that there are too few inspectors to monitor illegal building.  Israel Lands Fund activist Aryeh King said that 16 inspectors from a special unit of the civil administration, charged with apprehending building violations by Jews, has a caseload of 3,000 buildings in Judea and Samaria.  By contrast, 8 inspectors are supposed to investigate 18,000 building violations by Arabs in the Galilee, Israel, and 6 inspectors for 26,000 buildings in eastern Jerusalem.  Inspectors are afraid to enter certain Arab areas.  Mr. King calls all this discrimination against Jews,

 

Now the IDF is flying cameras not over enemy territory but over Jewish areas in Judea-Samaria, to get a baseline for detecting construction in violation of the freeze in later flyovers  (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/  Arutz-7, 11/29).

 

 

 

This is another case of the Army being used for internal political matters. 

 

I saw reports that more inspectors have been hired to monitor Jews.
