Uncertainty for Hebron Orphanage

The Israeli military issued orders in late February for the closure and confiscation of orphanages, schools and other facilities in the West Bank city of Hebron owned by the Islamic Charitable Society, accusing the group of having ties with Hamas. The organization has filed an appeal with Israel's high court, which demanded the military provide justification by April 6. The military asked for an extension but has yet to provide evidence, and the Israeli court has not yet ruled on the appeal. The closure orders were temporarily frozen for a week – but the Israel Army told the charity last week that they had until Sunday to evacuate. Zack Baddorf reports that as of today there has been no move to force the closure.
