Segmentation of identified changes in outposts by regional council
Binyamin – 39%
Jordan Valley – 39%
Samaria – 29%
Mt. Hebron – 4%
Gush Etzion – 20%
 
Segmentation of all construction activity in the outposts by regional councils gives a familiar picture from the past: in the first place is the Binyamin Regional Council headed by Pinchas Wallerstein, where 39% of the detected changes occurred. Following the Binyamin Regional Council is the Samaria Regional Council, followed by Gush Etzion.  In the Jordan Valley and Mt. Hebron regional councils a relatively small portion of the construction in outposts took place.

Conclusions
In the past months the government of Israel has continued to evade its responsibility to evacuate the unauthorized outposts in the West Bank.  It appears that the summer of 2006, marked by the fighting in south Lebanon, provided a golden opportunity for the settlers to deepen their hold on the land without the media being available to cover it.  Meanwhile, the situation in Lebanon gave the government the alibi it needed to excuse its continued shirking of its responsibility for what goes on in the territories regarding the outposts.  The evacuation of the outpost of Yitav East is a case in point, as an exception that proves the rule, because it was an unmanned outpost consisting of three mobile homes that was built in the middle of 2005. 
The evacuation of that outpost, just like its construction, did not require unusual effort and the choice to single it out for evacuation proves yet again that the government of Israel continues to be indecisive out of fear of confrontation with the settlers.  But not only were the outposts not evacuated: during that period the government of Israel continued to allow the existing outposts to grow and develop. The list shows that in at least 31 outposts construction and development activities have been noted in the last months, while in 12 of them the construction of permanent structures was documented.  
It appears that the government's failure to evacuate two groups of outposts that were supposed to be the first two in a series of evacuations illustrates the extent of  the continuing failure: the first was of outposts that were centers of particularly violent activity against the Palestinian residents of the area, which Amir Peretz promised to evacuate when he assumed the office of defense minister.  This includes the following outposts: Hill 833 (Ma'on Farm) south of the settlement of Ma'on, Point 792 (Skuli's Ranch) east of Elon More and the outpost Sneh Ya'akov (Ronen Arousi's Farm) south east of the settlement of Bracha.  Whereas the second group of outposts is of six outposts for which demarcation orders were issued and over which Peace Now petitioned the HCJ in April 2006 (3008/06).  Peace Now's petition was rejected even though the HCJ added the following important comment:
"...of course, in light of developments that occur or do not occur, a new petition can be filed according to the circumstances." For the full text of the HCJ decision in Hebrew click here.  

Needless to say that since nothing was done about the six outposts Peace Now will consider the possibility of petitioning the HCJ in the near future.  
 
Update on Peace Now petition against construction in the outposts of Hayovel and Haresha:
Currently there is a pending order nisi instructing the state to explain why it does not take all measures to destroy the buildings that are the subject of the petition. Click here.
