OPINION -
I read the INN article twice and I must say
I don’t understand this.
I would say a lot more, but I just deleted
my message.
My words aren’t adequate.

“Judea and Samaria: IDF Rounding Up Jews’ Weapons”
by Gil Ronen
(IsraelNN.com) The IDF is conducting a large scale operation to confiscate weapons from the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria, according to Channel 10 TV. The purpose of the operation is described as “putting the settlers’ gun permits in order.” The security coordinators of the communities in Samaria have been summoned to a meeting with IDF officers Thursday; community leaders are convinced that the IDF intends to collect many of the weapons in the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.
Hillel Reinus of Yitzhar said: “I have no idea who is giving the order, it seems to be coming from up high, but they’ve decided to take the weapons away from everybody.” Another resident of the community, Igal Amitai, added, “They are abandoning citizens, it is an irresponsibile act, but everything pales compared to reality.”
‘This amounts to making the settlers fair game’”

“The Israeli security forces detained a terrorist squad of three Fatah operatives, two of whom were members of the Palestinian national security services. They carried out the drive-by shooting which killed Ido Zoldan near Kedumim.”
I don't either, but Israel has very strict gun laws. I believe West Bank residents would be allowed a rifle and a handgun, one of each. Possible they're simply enforcing that law, though the timing is odd.
For anyone who would like a little lesson in the effects of gun control go to this link:
