Thursday, September 25, 2025, 17:06 One month ago, the GOC of the Home Front Command Major-General Shai Klapper imposed severe restrictions on a Shomron resident who is engaged to be married next week. The resident is under nighttime house arrest, he must sign in at a police station every day, and he is banned from entering Yehuda and Shomron for six months. Immediately upon receiving the order, the resident turned to Honenu Attorney Adi Keidar, who sent a letter to Major-General Klapper asking him to relax the restrictions so that the resident and his fiance could celebrate their wedding properly.
Although Attorney Keidar had sent the letter well in advance of the wedding, Major-General Klapper replied only today (Thursday). He allowed the resident to meet with his fiance’s brother, whom he is currently forbidden from contacting, at the wedding and allowed the resident to spend his wedding night outside of his home. However, the resident is forbidden to make contact with many of the wedding guests. Major-General Klapper did not allow the resident and his future wife to celebrate the seven days of post-wedding “sheva brachot” meals with family and friends other than in northern Israel, where he is living temporarily due to being banned from Yehuda and Shomron. The resident must also report twice to the police station during the celebratory week of sheva brachot.
Honenu Attorney Adi Keidar leveled criticism at the GSS and Major-General Klapper: “An innocent man is being persecuted on the grounds of a baseless ‘expert opinion’ that he ‘is dangerous’. What danger does a normative man who is about start his family pose? The GSS is using Major-General Klapper to continue their relentless persecution of Yehuda and Shomron residents. We will continue to fight for the resident to be able to celebrate his wedding unrestricted.”
