The Civil Administration’s Enforcement Unit demolished a number of illegal Palestinian Authority structures on Monday near the Derech Avraham farm in Samaria, in the area where farm resident Itamar Cohen was wounded in a terrorist attack approximately a week and a half ago.
Sources close to Minister in the Defense Ministry Bezalel Smotrich emphasized that the demolitions were carried out following his directive to strengthen enforcement against illegal construction in the area.
Minister Smotrich said, “The demolition of the structures that threatened the Derech Avraham farm is a direct continuation of our policy over recent years to fortify and strengthen the settlement movement and the network of agricultural farms and is part of a professional escalation in the enforcement against illegal construction.”

The demolition of illegal Palestinian Authority structures threatening the Derech Avraham Farm is a necessary assertion of Israeli sovereignty and a response to ongoing security threats in Judea and Samaria. AFSI supports decisive enforcement against illegal construction that undermines Israel’s security and the viability of Jewish communities. Protecting agricultural farms and strengthening the Jewish presence on the land are essential steps in preventing terrorism and safeguarding Israel’s future.
