Peretz Orders Removal of Outposts From Judea & Samaria By Yechiel Spira and Hillel Fendel

Defense Minister Amir Peretz has signed an order declaring 12 unauthorized outposts throughout Judea and Samaria “illegal,” setting the stage for their removal. The orders to remove the unauthorized outposts were signed by Mr. Peretz’s predecessor, former Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz, but he did not actualize the orders. Among the outposts slated for removal are Mitzpeh Lachish south of Hevron, Givat Assaf near Beit El, Shaked Farm, Mitzpeh Yitzhar and Yitzhar South, both near Yitzhar, Givat HaRoeh near Eli, Givat HaDegel near Karnei Shomron and Hazon David near Kiryat Arba, and Maaleh Rehavam, in eastern Gush Etzion.

The people of Maaleh Rehavam have demanded an apology from the Maariv newspaper for writing that their community is illegally located on private Arab property. "This article presents us as land thieves, a letter from the town's secretary states. "If a serious investigation had been done, as could be expected from a newspaper of your level, you would have found that the neighborhood is [a part of] the town of Nokdim, is totally located on state lands, and that the residents were even allocated land for planting and grazing. The neighborhood is in the process of being approved.

Peretz has ordered IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz to prepare the plan for the removal of the neigbhorhoods, some of which have 20 or more families. The final operational orders for their removal have been left to the discretion of Central District Commander Maj.-Gen. Yair Naveh. Aides to the defense minister explain that the removal of the outposts is in line with coalition agreements, and that their destruction is "inevitable. Security officials say the 12 communities would not be removed simultaneously, as such a move would place too large a burden on the security establishment.

In the meantime, the left-wing Peace Now organization continues to turn to the judicial system, seeking to expedite the removal of outposts. The radical group maintains that there are over 120 unauthorized Jewish residential enclaves throughout Judea and Samaria and demands that the State explain why they are not being immediately demolished.

Rockets Fired, IDF Base Struck, Jerusalem on Highest Alert By Ezra HaLevi

Six Kassam rockets were fired from Gaza at Israeli towns Thursday afternoon, landing near the city of Ashkelon and striking an IDF army base. Jerusalem is on highest alert due to concrete threats. Out of the six rockets, one landed in the sea, two fell short and landed in Gaza, and three landed south of Ashkelon. No injuries were reported, but a building in an IDF base was damaged in the attack.IDF soldiers involved in counter-terrorism operations throughout Judea and Samaria arrested ten suspects during the night. Arrests were made in and around Jenin and Bethlehem. Suspects in custody include Hamas, PFLP and Fatah Tanzim terrorists. No injuries were reported.

Interrogation of those arrested has frequently led to information that enabled security agencies to prevent terror attacks inside pre-1967 Green Line Israel. Due to intelligence information of terrorists’ intentions to carry out an attack in Jerusalem, the highest level of alert was activated Thursday morning in the capital. Checkpoints were erected at the entrances to the city and Magen David Adom ambulance drivers were told to sit inside their vehicles in preparation for the impending attack. At 2 PM, the alert level was lowered, but was raised once again shortly after 3 PM.

Wednesday, the Karni Crossing between Gaza and Israel was opened for two hours on orders from Defense Minister Amir Peretz (Labor), despite assessments by the IDF advising against it. Due to several concrete alerts regarding attacks, it was decided to close the crossing in the direction from Gaza to Israel after just an hour Thursday. However, the passage of goods continued in the opposite direction until a heightened terror threat caused it to be closed altogether at 3:30 PM.

Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman MK Avigdor Lieberman criticized the government’s behavior. “The Olmert government is trying to cover up its failure to battle against terrorism as Kassam rockets and Katyusha missiles fall on southern Israeli towns," Lieberman said. "Instead, it initiates the evacuation of outposts while completely ignoring the more than 1,000 illegal buildings within Israel’s pre-1967 borders."
