IDF sources reacted angrily Friday morning upon learning of Jewish activists' entry into the ruins of Sa-Nur in Samaria overnight. "It is too bad that after the state-sponsored ceremony at Homesh yesterday, this is the thanks that the IDF, the Border Police and the Israel Police are given," the military source said.

The source said called the Sa-Nur pioneers "a handful of criminals who are openly breaking the law" and added that the IDF would not allow permanent resettlement of Sa-Nur. The IDF Spokesman said: "All of the citizens who are cynically interfering with the IDF's operational activity and trying to break the law by use of force will be evacuated and transferred to the hands of the police."
