The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) plan to isolate the settlements of northern Samaria that are scheduled for evacuation. Residents of these communities are attempting to prevent the government from blockading the region before their scheduled evacuation. Settlers have protested against the IDF in the past and will continue to stand strong, one resident told Arutz Sheva, “If just 100 people succeeded in preventing the establishment of a checkpoint, at the moment of truth, thousands will be able to prevent and thwart the Disengagement,” said Yossi Dagan of Sa Nur.
