Al Bandak Stone, one of the oldest factories in Palestine, established in 1967, has been, like all Palestinian economic establishments, routinely targeted by Occupation forces in a continuing attempt to close down and destroy the factory. As well, closures imposed by the Occupation forces on Bethlehem has severely impacted the factory, with financial losses accrued over the last few years amounting to more than 700,000 NIS. Added to this hardship, the Apartheid Wall is being constructed only a few meters from the doors of the factory, further threatening the factory with closure, or demolition.
