Serious allegations of looting and property destruction have been raised following an enforcement operation in Judea and Samaria.
Civil Administration and Border Police forces arrived over the weekend at the Givat Tel Talpiot outpost in Samaria and demolished two family homes and a goat pen.
When residents were permitted to return to the site after the demolition was completed, they said they discovered signs of deliberate destruction and found that valuable property was missing.
According to residents, at least five pairs of tefillin (phylacteries) disappeared from the main structure, along with religious books. In addition, identity cards had been torn out of closets, thousands of shekels in cash left in bags were missing, and credit cards had disappeared.
One of the cardholders said that he received a notification from his credit card company shortly after the evacuation ended, informing him that an attempt had been made to use the card for a purchase at a store in a nearby village. Residents also reported that large quantities of food had been thrown onto the floor and clothing had been damaged.
While residents were being kept away from the outpost, Border Police officers were at the scene alongside Arab contract workers employed on behalf of the Civil Administration.
Givat Tel Talpiot residents slammed: "The campaign of destruction we experienced on the hill is a crime intended to enable the Palestinian Authority to take control of one of Samaria's strategic mountains, but the vandalism and theft that accompanied it are the result of our blood being treated as cheap. This is crime under the protection of the law, joining a long series of similar incidents that have occurred over the past year."
"Minister Smotrich, who is responsible for the Civil Administration, and Minister Katz, who is responsible for the Judea and Samaria Border Police, must order today that the offenders be prosecuted and put an end to the dangerous incitement within the security establishment against the pioneers of settlement."
