Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the defense establishment to take action to evacuate unauthorized outposts established in Area B of Judea and Samaria following pressure from the American government, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Sunday morning.
According to the report, the defense establishment estimates that there are currently about 100 unauthorized outposts throughout Judea and Samaria, approximately 15 to 20 of which were established in Areas A and B. Officials familiar with the details told the newspaper, “There are clear instructions from the National Security Council to evacuate outposts, certainly those located in Area B."
The report further stated that defense officials believe the issue of particular concern to the prime minister is pressure from the US administration, which is worried about the expansion of construction at outposts in Area B. According to those officials, Netanyahu also instructed ministers to refrain from making statements against IDF commanders and to give them their backing.
At the same time, the defense establishment is warning of a significant increase in the number of alerts regarding planned terrorist attacks and attempted attacks in Judea and Samaria. According to the report, security forces thwart dozens of attacks every week, some of them at very advanced stages of preparation.
Against the backdrop of the heightened tensions and preparations for the Tishrei holidays, the IDF is expected to reinforce Judea and Samaria with at least two additional battalions, while the headquarters of another division has also been placed on alert in case it is required to deploy to the sector.

Remember this next time DIN demands Charedim enlist:
*At least 7 frum IDF soldiers sent to military prison for refusing to board APC with female medic*馃が
Frum soldiers in Givati Brigade's Rotem Battalion were prosecuted on by court-martial after refusing to board an armored personnel carrier with a female paramedic, an IDF source indirectly told The Jerusalem Post.
A 2nd IDF source indirectly confirmed the disciplinary process to the Post, adding the military isn’t pleased the information was published before the verdicts were handed down.
The IDF sources' comments to the Post come after a journalist from N12 News reported 4 soldiers who refused to enter the APC were sentenced to 10 days each in military prison, 3 soldiers who aided them were sentenced to 5 days each & others are still to be court-martialled.
The incident occured following an overnight operational drill, in which Rotem Battalion was required to use an APC, the IDF saying at the time "soldiers who maintain a religious way of life are entitled to carry out operational activity in a gender-segregated framework, except in exceptional cases. In the incident, the force refused to carry out the activity & as a result, the activity was canceled," the IDF said, noting "command measures" would be taken "in accordance with findings."
*CBN editor Mr. W - stories like these prove the IDF will never be a safe space for frum bochurim.*

Neither is Lakewood, where the OTD crisis is now a full-blown epidemic; they should at least be in the army!
It's areas b which is technically part of "Palestine". If it was in the Israeli area then it would be concerning.
