One of the Jewish residents of Samaria to be barred from returning to his home by IDF administrative order is Neriah Ofan.

Ofan was victim to a similar order in 2006, along with 19 others.

Prior to the 2005 Disengagement, Ofan was jailed without trial via administrative detention order due to fears by the government that his logistical skills in organizing the monthly encirclement of the Temple Mount were being used to organize opposition to the expulsion.
