Defense Minister Naftali Bennett ordered the IDF (Central Command) on Saturday, in cooperation with the General Security Service and the Israeli police, to issue a restraining order against leftist anarchist activists from the Judea and Samaria area.

So far, such orders have been issued in the Jewish public only against price tag activists, and will now also be directed against anarchist activists on the left.
These are radical leftist activists who belong to the "Fence Anarchists" organization, and work weekly, in most cases in coordination with Palestinian activists and other extremist leftist organizations, to carry out violent provocations in the Judea and Samaria area in four main centers: Bil'in, Na'alin, Kedum and Nabi Salah.

According to information presented to the defense minister recently, among other things in an encounter with IDF disabled persons who were affected by the various activities, the violent events are aimed at agitating the area and leading to the destruction of property and damage to IDF soldiers, alongside serious explanatory damage to the State of Israel in the world.
Accordingly, Defense Minister Naphtali Bennett on Saturday ordered IDF officials and the Shin Bet to draft a restraining order against the group's activists, led by radical leftist activist Jonathan Pollak (who is currently in custody after a complaint was lodged against him with IDF soldiers) ).

Recall, Polk was arrested after a civilian complaint filed by the organization "Up to Here" for his participation in violent demonstrations in the Judea and Samaria territories, according to which Polk encouraged Palestinians' violence against IDF soldiers.

At the same time, until the order was implemented, the forces in the field were instructed to act hard against the same activity, in order to disperse the demonstrations in a short time and reduce the damage to IDF soldiers.

Defense Minister Bennett: "Nobody has the right to hurt the expensive IDF soldiers and state security in the name of freedom of expression and demonstration. It is time to stop the cheap provocations of those anarchists and take a hard hand against domestic enemies. The circus is over. "
