The Yesha Human Rights organization has asked the IDF to treat leftists the same way they treat nationalists. In a letter to Gadi Shamni, the head of the Central Command, the group asked that he order left-wing activists, including foreigners, out of their homes.

The commander issued an order on Wednesday that bans two nationalists from their homes in Samaria until the olive harvest is completed. The order was based on intelligence reports that the two men planned to interfere with Arabs during the harvest.
