He added that they had built the two houses about 8 years ago, and a NIS 35,000 fine was imposed on them twoyears ago.
Maher Nassar added that the municipality had handed him a decision, two weeks ago, to demolish the two homes. He submitted an appeal to the municipality court and was able to freeze the decision until yesterday's session.
