Jaber Bajis, the head of Dora Al-Qare village’s council, said in a statement that the court gave the government seven days to respond with what action it was taking to stop the construction of the mosque, which is located near the Jewish settlement of Beit El.

Israeli sources said that the order came after the Israeli group of Regavim, which is monitoring "illegal" Palestinian building in West Bank, petitioned the court against the Al-Huda Mosque and another one in the village of Bourin, to the southwest of Nablus.

Regavim asked the court to take measures against the two mosques following its decision to seal a synagogue in the illegal settlement outpost of Almatan in the district of Qalqilyah.

The Israeli Civil Administration, the unit responsible for coordinating civil issues between Israeli and the Palestinian governments, said the mosque was built in Area “C” without license from Israeli authorities. It added that the Palestinians usually build their mosques in Areas “A” and “B.”

According to the Oslo Agreement, Area “A” is under Palestinian administrative and security control, Area “B” under Palestinian administrative control but under Israeli security and the Area “C” is under full Israeli control. However, Israel “reoccupied” the three areas after its large-scale military operation “Defensive Shield” in 2002.

Meanwhile, three Palestinian protesters were injured by Israeli forces fire during the weekly anti-separation wall protests in the West Bank village of Bil’in.

Palestinian sources said that dozens of Palestinian, foreign and leftist activists suffered from gas inhalation.

A similar rally with some 30 Palestinian and left-wing activists was held in Ni’lin. There too, Israeli forces violently dispersed the protesters. No injuries or damage were reported.
