The "Homesh First" action group responded to the IDF's accusations that the resettlement of Sa-Nur was "criminal" by saying: "if there are criminals here, they are the criminals of the Expulsion, who uprooted the residents of Sa-Nur from their land, as well as Ehud Olmert, the architect of expulsion, fraud and crime."

"We will return to Homesh and to Sa-Nur," they vowed.
