The Sheikh of the hamlet, Mohammad Dawabshih told Land Research Center the following: " Al-Marajim hamlet is one of the communities the occupation doesn’t recognize in area classified "C". All of the hamlet's structures are notified either of stop-work or demolition. Despite that residents apply for building permits and license, the occupation turns them down in a step to force the inhabitants to move out of their hamlet".
