According to the information obtained by the residents, the IDF plans on isolating the communities slated for expulsion beginning Thursday, preventing citizens not registered as residents of the towns from entering them.
The first perimeter will be located near the town of Homesh, slated for destruction under the Disengagement Plan. The second will be located near the community of Shavei Shomron, three miles away. Eventually, the IDF plans on creating two more perimeters, first at Kedumim, six miles from Homesh and then at Karnei Shomron - ten miles away from the entrance to northern Samaria.
The residents of northern Samaria have already demonstrated to the IDF that they do not plan to allow preparations for the deployment of a blockade to take place. Last week, they succeeded in preventing the establishment of a military roadblock at the southern entrance to northern Samaria aimed at controlling the entry of residents.
"If just 100 people succeeded in preventing the establishment of a checkpoint, at the moment of truth, thousands will be able to prevent and thwart the Disengagement," said Yossi Dagan of Sa-Nur.
The IDF originally claimed, two weeks after an attempted bombing in Shavei Shomron, that the checkpoint was necessary for security purposes. The residents were unconvinced and investigated the matter within the military establishment. They discovered that the checkpoint was set to be built on the main road and had nothing to do with the security of Shavei Shomron, as the IDF had claimed.
After it became clear to the residents that the checkpoint was being built solely to solidify control on the main artery in order to prevent Jews from reaching and reinforcing the communities slated for destruction, residents decided to act and dismantle it.
"It is important that there be people in northern Samaria and a public that will be ready to heed the call," said Dagan. "Despite the checkpoints, people will be able to arrive by way of the mountains, and the IDF will not be able to prevent it. With determination we can prevent the Disengagement - the main thing is not to be complacent."
Dagan led a tour of Knesset members, from the Shas Party, through northern Samaria Sunday morning. The tour began at 10 AM at the home of Shas spiritual leader, former Sephardic Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef in Jerusalem. They arrived at Sa-Nur at 11:30 AM, at which point a press conference took place and Shas chairman Eli Yishai presented the residents with a letter of support from Rabbi Yosef.
