Residents of two homes in the West Bank (Samaria) settlement of Eli will be evicted, according to a government update submitted to the High Court of Israel on Tuesday.
The decision was made following a survey of the settlement land, which concluded that these two particular houses are not within the Israeli-owned land that the rest of the settlement is built on, Israel Hayom reported.
The evictions must be carried out within the next three years.
Earlier on Tuesday, The IDF evicted seven settler families from their illegally built modular homes in the Beit Dror outpost, located in the South Hebron Hills, ahead of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's pending trip to the United States later this month.
The move caught the South Hebron Hills Regional Council by surprise, since it believed that it was in the process of authorizing the seven modular homes, which had been placed at the outpost in April, also known as Adorayim.
Meanwhile, a source close to Bennett has reported that the prime minister does not intend to evict Arab residents of the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, regardless of the court ruling on the issue, due to the increased attention that it has received, and the amount of tension it has created.
Bennett reportedly hopes that by not evacuating the residents of Sheikh Jarrah, he will be able to reduce the simmering tensions in Jerusalem.
