Dozens of right-wing extremists on Sunday demonstrated outside the home of GOC Central Command Yair Naveh, who issued 19 restraining orders to settlers forcing them to evacuate their homes in illegal West Bank outposts set to be dismantled.

The demonstrators, who plan to hold a long and continuous protest, handed out fliers exclaiming, "how would you feel if police knocked on your door, and gave you a restraining order from your own home?" and "dear citizen, do you know of the orders that were handed to your neighbors?"

The majority of these settlers reside or study in the settlements of Yitzhar and Braha.

Eighteen of the settlers that were handed restraining orders said they were planning a larger demonstration next week. The 19th settler, Ma'on Farm resident Elad Keller, did not attend the protest because he is currently in police custody for refusing to evacuate his home.

In protest of the evacuations, Keller rejected the court's offer to release him on NIS 2,500 bail, calling the order illegal and unethical.

Keller said the moment he was released he would return to his home. The rest of the settlers, many of whom are leaders in their settlements, have also vowed to return to their homes.

A number of right-wing organizations joined the settlers in their protest, including Women in Green, Gamla Will Not Fall Again, Professors for a Stronger Israel, and Youth for the Land of Israel.
