Orders exclude the extremists from West Bank outposts from which Shin Bet claims the activists carried out attacks; attorney Ben-Gvir states: 'there are no indictments and no due process by which they can receive answers and defend themselves'.
Restraining orders were filed on Saturday night and Sunday morning against ten far-right activists, banning them from the West Bank for ten months.
In an unusual statement published Sunday, the Shin Bet said that "in light of several terrorist attacks committed recently, in which there was even loss of life, restraining orders were issued against ten activists at the recommendation of the Shin Bet ."
In the notification the Shin Bet claimed the purpose of the orders was to keep the right-wing activists away from illegal outposts "such as Habaladim, near the West Bank settlement of Kochav HaShachar, from which they set out to carry out attacks."
The statement also said that "in the spirit of the directive of the state's security cabinet, as part of a policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism, in order to smash the terrorist infrastructure which carried out these attacks and to prevent additional activity that could endanger security, these orders contain various restrictions, including demarcation of where they can reside, a nighttime curfew, and exclusion from the West Bank."
Since the murders of two members of the Dawabsheh family in the Palestinian village of Duma, administrative orders have become the most important tool in the fight against right-wing activists.
The orders distributed Saturday night were issued to far-right extremists who live in outposts associated with the "hilltop youth" of the West Bank. Among the recipients of the orders were two minors from the Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva in Yitzhar, three youths living near Shilo, and the father of a child from the outpost of Geulat Tziyon.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, the attorney of two of the recipients, said: "Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon is behaving like a bull in a china shop. His actions send the message to young people that there is no democracy, and encourages them to break the law, as there are no indictments and no due process by which they can receive answers and defend themselves."
The association Honenu, which represents several right-wing activists, also protested the issuance of the orders. "The system is facing unprecedented pressure and is utilizing illegal means against the settlers engaged in the settlement of the country," the organization stated. "We are witnessing a dramatic rise in the severity and amount of administrative orders being issued, which severely violate the rights of recipients of such orders."
After the issuance of administrative detention orders to right-wing activists Meir Ettinger (grandson of Rabbi Meir Kahane), Evyatar Slonim, and Mordechai Meir, security forces Saturday began to issue the administrative restraining orders to ten other activists. The use of administrative restraining orders has been made before, but in the West Bank no one can recall such an extensive use of them in such a short span of time.

A series of events has been staged by the Palestinian Assembly in Germany in protest at the burning of the Palestinian toddler Ali Dawabsheh and his family members in an arson attack by extremist Israeli settlers on their home in the northern West Bank village of Duma.
Germany-based Pro-Palestine masses took to the streets in protest at the horrendous crime against newborn Dawabsheh and his family.
Sources based in Berlin city said the demonstrators condemned the silence maintained by the international community as regards the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation authority and settlers in the West Bank and Occupied Jerusalem.
Another rally kicked off in Hamburg city, where protesters spoke out against the murder of the Palestinian infant.
The rally-goers called on the German government and the European Union to immediately step in and take serious measures to protect the Palestinian people against Israeli preplanned terrorism.
Similar demos spread out to Essen and the Trier urban area, where demonstrators pushed for taking a tougher line against Israeli criminals.
Head of the Palestinian Assembly, Suhail Abu Shamala, denounced the reluctance maintained by the European governments vis-à-vis the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation, saying such apathy rather gives Israelis larger room to step up attacks against the innocent Palestinians.
He said urgent measures should be opted for so as to urge the Israeli occupation government to abide by international laws and cease infringements of Palestinians’ human rights.

Israeli forces opened fire at Palestinian and foreign activists on Friday during a memorial in the village of Susiya south of Hebron for 18-month-old Ali Dawabsha who was killed in an arson attack by Israeli settlers on July 30, a spokesperson from the Popular Struggle Coordination Committee said.
No injuries were reported.
During the memorial, activists and local children were flying kites above a nearby illegal Israeli settlement when Israeli soldiers in the area responded with opening fire at the kite flyers, a PSCC spokesperson told Ma'an News Agency.
An Israeli army spokesperson did not immediately respond for comment.
Organizers said the memorial signified that the arson attack on the 18-month-old was just one piece of a series of crimes committed by the state of Israel and Israeli settlers across the Palestine territory.
Activities went on until late in the evening, as night-guard committees provided protection for residents and activists.
Head of PSCC Munther Amireh, said that the organized activities came under the committee's local and international campaign to support the resistance of villagers in Susiya against Israel and settlements.
Last month Israeli authorities ordered the demolition of around half of the homes in Susiya, sparking international outrage.
Susiya has been under imminent threat of demolition since May, when the Israeli High Court approved the demolition of the villagers' homes and tents and possible relocation of the villages around 300 Bedouin residents.
The court case has been ongoing since 2012, when residents of Susiya applied for the Israeli Civil Administration to approve an outline plan for northern part of the village.
Susiya villagers reportedly built homes in 1986 on agricultural land they owned, after being evicted by Israel from their previous dwellings on land declared as an archaeological site.
Situated in Area C, an area covering 60 percent of the West Bank which is under full Israeli control, villagers of Susiya must apply for construction permits from the Israeli Civil Administration.
In practice only a handful of Palestinian applications for construction or expansion on existing structures are approved, with only six percent of Palestinian building permit requests granted by Israel between 2000 and 2012.
Unable to get "legal" permission, Palestinians are faced with either leaving or building illegally. Israel currently refuses to recognize 35 Bedouin villages in the Negev, which collectively house nearly 90,000 people.
Israel continues to bar Palestinians from using road in Ramallah
The Israeli occupation army has continued for the 13th day running to prevent the Palestinians from using the road adjacent to the illegal settlement of Beit El, which was established on Palestinian-owned lands in Ramallah.
Local sources told Quds Press that the Israeli army closed the road with concrete blocks on July 31 following violent clashes with angry Palestinian young men who reacted to the deadly arson attack on al-Dawabsheh family in Nablus.
The Palestinian citizens were using the road to travel between Ramallah city and the northern cities and towns of the West Bank, according to the sources.
The closure forced the citizens to use other unpaved routes to reach the northern West Bank areas and al-Jalazoun refugee camp.
No injuries were reported.

The mother of the 18-month-old Palestinian boy who was killed in a recent arson attack on his home, by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, may have gone brain dead, according to a report.
Riham Dawabsha who was herself injured, and also lost her husband as a result of the attack, was put on a respirator at the Chaim Sheba Medical Center, also known as Tel HaShomer Hospital, in the occupied Palestinian territories on Monday, Arabic-language Akhbaar 24 news website reported on Tuesday.
The decision to put her on a respirator came after her general health condition deteriorated, and some of her organs stopped functioning, according to the report.
Some doctors and medical officials have also suggested that she might be brain dead.
Her 32-year-old husband, Sa’ad Dawabsha, died at a medical center early Saturday.
He had been left with second-degree burns over more than 80 percent of his body following the late July firebombing, which killed his son.
On July 31, a large fire broke out after extremist Israeli settlers threw firebombs and Molotov cocktails into two Palestinian houses – including that of the Dawabsha – in the town of Douma, located 25 kilometers (15 miles) southeast of Nablus.
The incident sparked outrage from Palestinians, including political and resistance groups.
United-Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon censured the arson attack as a “terrorist act,” calling for the perpetrators to be promptly brought to justice.
“Continued failures to effectively address impunity for repeated acts of [Israeli] settler violence have led to another horrific incident involving the death of an innocent life. This must end,” Ban’s spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.
Israeli settlers have in recent years carried out various attacks, including arson attacks, on Palestinian property in the West Bank and al-Quds (Jerusalem).

The father, Saad Dawabsheh on Saturday died of wounds he sustained in the fire.
On Monday, The Director of Tel Hashomer Hospital, where the Family receives treatment, said that the mother and brother need one year in the ICU after the elapse of the state of danger.
Israeli occupation authorities on Monday have released all extremist settlers who were detained following arson attack, which burned alive toddler Ali and his father.According to AFP, Israel did not provide the number of those detained in the raids by far-right terrorists living in illegal West Bank settlements. However, Haaretz on Sunday said that nine terrorists were arrested, but were not named suspects in the case.
“All those arrested yesterday for interrogation have been released,” a spokeswoman for the Shin Bet domestic security agency told AFP, without providing further details.
The raids came as Israel claimed it will crack down on extremists following the firebombing and the July 30 stabbing attack at a Gay Pride parade in Jerusalem that killed a 16-year-old girl and wounded five people.
Following the attack, the Israeli police announced they were unable to identify the Duma arson attacker, and asked for help to find leads to the suspect.
However, the Knesset passed an “anti-terrorism” bill which allows six-months administrative detention of the attackers.

The operation, #WasBurnedAlive, started approximately 9 hours ago
Hackers today attacked the website of the Office of the Prime Minister, that of the Israel army and that of a number of ministries and government departments. In a statement the international group of hackers known as Anonymous said this was "because the Palestinian toddler's voice was not heard and because the world's wicked silence was all over heard and because we decided to be the toddler's voice and pain and because Israel, the criminal state, decided to set the Jewish Extremist settler who burnt the toddler alive, free we decided this OP."
Yesterday, Israeli officials announced that a number of settlers who were arrested following the murder of a toddler and his father in an arson attack on a Palestinian home near the city of Nablus were released without charge.
The operation, #WasBurnedAlive, part of the greater #OpIsrael, started approximately 9 hours ago. At the time of writing, most of the websites were still down. List below from RedCult.
