The unusual decision regarding Tal Yanon Dardik - and the anger in the IDF: 'A problematic precedent'

The military appeals committee in Judea and Samaria accepted Tal Yanon Dardik's appeal against the administrative order issued by the Central Command chief, ruling that his mother-in-law cannot be forced to host him under house arrest. The committee ordered the IDF to consider renting an apartment at state expense as an alternative detention. Dardik has been detained for about three weeks on suspicion of violating the order, which was issued following the violence incident in Khirbet Khumsa. The IDF is furious over the precedent.

The military appeals committee in the Judea and Samaria area accepted the appeal of Tal Yanon Dardik against the administrative order issued by the Central Command chief, Avi Blot. The committee ruled that it does not have the authority to order Dardik to stay under house arrest at his mother-in-law's home without her consent, and instructed the IDF to find an alternative detention arrangement, including considering renting an apartment at state expense. Dardik, a resident of a farm in Binyamin and father of four, has been detained for about three weeks after allegedly violating the administrative order imposed on him following the violence incident in Khirbet Khumsa. In the incident, first exposed by 'Hayom', dozens of Jews are suspected of attacking Palestinian residents, handcuffing them, dragging foreign volunteers, and stealing livestock. Dardik was present at the event but there is insufficient evidence linking him to the violence. He is on a hunger strike and his condition has deteriorated. The Honenu organization welcomed the decision. The IDF is furious and calls it a 'problematic precedent', but will follow state instructions.
