A covert police operation recently exposed a case of extortion payments in the #Negev. Over last few years, families & contractors, who were supposed to move to a location near Route 6, were victims of extortion threats amounting to hundreds of thousands of shekels.

For around 6 months, 3 policemen from Yoav Unit (part of Police's Southern Command) disguised themselves as contractors to collect enough evidence.

Police arrested 6 suspects, all members of the same family.

The family illegally seized State lands in the Negev, threatened anyone who approached the area, & demanded various payments. This week, the Southern District Attorney's Office indicted the suspects & requested detention until the conclusion of proceedings.

We commend @israelpolice for taking efficient action in this incident. Unfortunately, extortion payments are a widespread plague in Israel’s Wild South - bit.ly/3hetOGt. Only through serious enforcement can problem be fixed. #ProtectingTheNegev

🔻Ok, so this is quite incredible.🔻

A law that was enacted by the Jordanians in 1953 that prohibits selling land in Judea & Samaria to Jews is still in place. Yes, you read that right.

“Law 40” was enacted during Jordan’s illegal occupation of J&S, preventing non-Arabs from purchasing private lands in the area. In 1971, Military Ruler issued an order that allows companies registered in Judea & Samaria to purchase lands, under certain conditions.

But individual Jews still aren't able to buy land in parts of their ancestral homeland - simply because they’re Jewish. Instead of cancelling the law, Military Ruler merely bypassed it. AGs of Defense Ministry & J&S have agreed on need to change this piece of legislation.

#Fact:

✅The school was built almost overnight this summer without the necessary permits, on land under #Israeli jurisdiction, adjacent to Kochav HaShachar!

Intention is to prevent Israeli community from growing.

#Fact:

✅When construction first began, back when there was nothing more than concrete foundation for the structure, Regavim notified Civil Administration’s enforcement officer.

But we got no answer, allowing construction to progress & generate this PR nightmare for 🇮🇱.
