IDF and border police forces accompanied by Civil Administration inspectors arrived at the N’vei Erez Outpost in the Binyamin Regional Council region of the Shomron this week and confiscated a caravan home being renovated by a family. The outpost is adjacent to Maale Michmas.

They then traveled to the ruins of Amona, near Ofra, and destroyed a building and confiscated materials.

Yosef Lifan explained to Kol Yehudi the caravan home was being refurbished for a married couple with three children, whose wife is expecting another. “We did not receive and orders or notification of their intent to confiscate the family’s home. “We are on state land and Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben-Dahan explained efforts are ongoing to legalize the community. We tried to prevent them from taking it [the caravan], albeit without success. They arrived at 5:00AM and confiscated the home, which contained a substantial amount of tools.
