(Updated Wednesday 10:15 AM) Acting on Defense Ministry orders, IDF troops last night dismantled three unmanned outposts throughout the Shomron. Two of the outposts were in the Shechem region while the third was near Ramallah. The Yesha (Judea, Samaria, and Gaza) Council condemned the move saying that dismantling outposts rewards Arab terror.
Herut Party leader Michael Kleiner responded by saying that Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer is acting as if he received an emergency military call up [Tzav Shmoneh] from the extreme left-wing Meretz Party. Kleiner added that the Defense Ministry should stop dismantling outposts, but rather invest its time in destroying the illegal Arab structures overlooking Jewish-traveled roads throughout Yesha that have been used as cover for terrorists during attacks.
