About two hours before the start of Shabbat last week, Border Police forces and Civil Administration inspectors carried out coordinated operations at several Israeli homesteads across the Samaria region, acting on orders from senior IDF commanders in Central Command and the Judea and Samaria Division.
During the activity, a residential structure near Nofei Nehemia was demolished, while at other locations authorities enforced closed military zone orders. Security forces, accompanied by engineering equipment, also demolished a sheepfold at one homestead. Residents claimed they were not given time to remove personal belongings, alleging that the home was destroyed with furniture, food, and Shabbat supplies still inside.
At the same time, the security forces enforced a closed military area order at a homestead near Shiloh, evicting residents from the area. At a homestead near Hebron, residents reported being prevented from reaching their homes during the operation.
AFSI’s take:
The ongoing campaign against pioneering residents in this area must stop. We encourage focus on the application of sovereignty throughout Judea and Samaria, and operations like this will cease. Without doing so, Israel’s sovereignty continues to remain under siege.
