Israeli Military - The IDF has marked red lines
around Israeli communities beyond which Arabs can not approach
them.Since the PA police is expected to keep order, it is
unknown at what point the IDF will react to any breaching
of these lines.
Ben-Ari added that the Karnei Shomron
community, as well as other communities, had begun to
prepare for possible events. Besides preparing
residents and members of the local defense squads for
possible violence, Ben-Ari said that the town also would be
putting up flags inside the town and on the highways leading
to it, in the case of peaceful Arab marches, in order to
emphasize Karnei Shomron's pride in being a part of the State
of Israel. “The flags will stress the message that
this land belongs to Israel,” Ben-Ari said.
