As builders of Eretz Yisrael continue to defy the government, following Wednesday’s dismantling of outpost Maoz Esther in Shomron, work began almost immediately to rebuild the site, at least for the third time, sending a clear sign to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak that the Eretz Yisrael Faithful will have the last word.

In another act of defiance, a concert is being hosted in the outpost on Thursday, tomorrow, June 4th, at 5:00pm. Kiryat Arba Chief Rabbi Rav Dov Lior Shlita is expected to attend.

Earlier on Wednesday, the IDF declared several checkpoint areas in Shomron a closed military zone, a move taken by IDF Central District commander Major-General Gadi Shamni towards keeping Eretz Yisrael Faithful activists away from outposts.

Authorities reported that on Wednesday, Jews in the Maoz Esther area set Arab fields ablaze and threw rocks at Arab vehicles.
