The foundations of a synagogue in Efrat, laid before construction freeze stop-work orders were distributed, were razed today, at the order of Defense Minister Barak.
Five other building starts in nearby Bat Ayin were also destroyed.
The Knesset Land of Israel Forum accused Barak of “crossing a red line” after he ordered the IDF and the Judea/Samaria Civil Administration authorities to raze synagogue foundations in the Gush Etzion city of Efrat. The forces arrived with a bulldozer in the early morning hours of Thursday and destroyed the foundations – which were built before the authorities ordered them to stop work on the structure nearly three months ago.
