Israeli security forces began the destruction of Jewish homes the Netiv Ha'avot neighborhood of Elazar in Samaria, an IDF source reported.

Security forces are working to complete the demolition while ensuring security, law, and order.

According to the IDF, the demolitions are being done "as per the request of the political echelon."

Gush Etzion Regional Council Head Shlomo Ne'eman said, "It's very said that we have reached this moment. We've lost control and we've lost sovereignty. People tell us that this is 'the rule of law' but really, i's a loss of control and the destruction of law. Not only will the physical buildings be destroyed this morning; the law that a nation is sovereign in its own land will also be harmed by the bulldozers."

"Seventy years ago, the nations of the world recognized our right to create the State of Israel. On that day, Gush Etzion began its last battle - the battle for Jerusalem. It's time the Israeli government recognize the fact that Israel controls every part of this land. There is no better place to begin applying our sovereignty than Gush Etzion, which walks in the paths of its fathers." (Netiv Ha'avot literally means 'the path of the fathers.')

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit approved a deal which may save six of the fifteen homes slated for destruction. According to Mandelblit's plan, the parts of the homes which are built on private Arab land will be sawed off. These homes will then be given temporary building permits, effectively legalizing them.

Fake news alert:

I was informed over the weekend that the neighborhood of Netiv Haavot was not destroyed yet, but is scheduled to be destroyed in March. The footage showing a neighborhood being destroyed was a neighborhood in Miron. I posted the article from Arutz Sheva in good faith, thinking that they were reporting an actual event, but that demolition and eviction was done last year. I am furious, and will double check anything I see from Arutz Sheva, which is forgetting its journalistic responsibility and donning the mantle of activism, and the truth be damned.
