Jerusalem, 12 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Border Police completed repeat enforcement operations over the past 24 hours, evacuating two Israeli illegal outposts near the Palestinian villages of Atara and Wadi al-Rahim in Judea and Samaria.
According to an IDF Spokesperson’s statement Thursday, the outposts were repeatedly used as bases for violent and illegal activity. Security forces removed unauthorized structures, vehicles, tents, and temporary buildings.
During an overnight operation near Atara, Israelis barricaded themselves inside structures, while others attempted to reach the area to disrupt the evacuation. Security forces used crowd-dispersal measures and completed the operation.
The IDF stressed that illegal outposts divert security forces and resources from routine defensive missions and counterterrorism operations, directly undermining regional security.
