Eleven members of an organization calling itself Gareen Shechem, an organization calling for the return of Jews to Shechem, were arrested in Shechem as they were walking to Kever Yosef during the night, Wednesday night November 23, 2011. They were taken into custody 100 meters (yards) from the kever.

Police investigators informed Honenu attorney Adi Kedar that most of the group will be brought to the Petah Tikvah Magistrate Court for deliberation, where the police will request that they be conditionally released. A Honenu attorney will represent the arrestees in the deliberation.
