	Mukataa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Palestinian Mukataas were mostly built during the British Mandate and were used both as British government centers and as dwellings for the British administrative staff.
		After the Oslo Accords, the Mukataas were used as governmental offices and headquarters for the Palestinian Authority.
		The Mukataa in Ramallah was later partly demolished by IDF bulldozers (such as the Caterpillar D9 and an armored excavator) in order to isolate Arafat's headquarters and lay siege to Arafat and his associates, some of whom were wanted by Israel for alleged terrorist activities.

		While commercial and industrial management were the first to fall into the category of mukataa, in periods when the treasury was in financial difficulty, when high-revenue producing timar and zeamet were vacant the practice of farming them out (iltizâm) was started.
