Late on Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, Israeli security forces operated throughout the night to destroy several communities across Judea and Samaria at different locations.
The affected communities were near Metzad in eastern Gush Etzion. In the “Kol Mevaser” hill in the Binyamin region residents complained of a forceful evacuation, claiming they were given only one minute to prepare before their homes were destroyed. Despite their requests, they were not allowed to remove valuable personal belongings, some of which were buried under the rubble.
At the same time, calls for riots were circulated on social media in nearby Arab villages. Around 1:00 a.m., forces arrived at the “Beit Anot” hill, a strategic point located between Gush Etzion and Mount Hebron. Structures used as a residence for a family with three children and a group of young people engaged in shepherding were demolished.
AFSI’s take:
The significance of the hilltop communities and farms must not be diminished as they are creating numerous new points and communities that contribute to the development of the Land of Israel. It is disheartening to see once again that while Israel is engaged in war with Iran, Lebanon, and others who aim for its downfall, it is simultaneously undermining its own foundations. This situation is perplexing, and as we’ve previously stated, it compromises sovereignty in this area.
