IDF Central Command head Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fox said in a statement that barring Yered from his home for six months was critical in order to ensure stability in Judea and Samaria. “Weighty security considerations require this” and the order “was necessary,” he said.Rabbi Menchaem Ben Shahar, a teacher at the Homesh yeshiva and settler activist who is close to Yered, said that the order was “reminiscent of the conduct of dark regimes.”Read Three Hamas Oct. 7 perpetrators killed in Israeli strikesBen Shahar said he believed the move was politically motivated, and that instead of “embarking on a determined fight against terrorism, the [IDF senior staff] and the Shin Bet are acting in a desperate attempt to forcefully silence criticism, to cover up their failure in the face of terrorism.”In August, Yered and another man, Yechiel Indore, were arrested after a violent clash with Palestinians near the PA-controlled town of Burqa. According to Yered and Indore, the pair had come to the aid of a Jewish shepherd who was attacked by Palestinians. The Palestinians then attacked Yered and Indore, they said, with Indore being seriously wounded by one of them. Indore later underwent brain surgery after being struck in the head by a large rock hurled by a Palestinian.Despite Indore’s injury, he shot and killed one of the alleged perpetrators of the attack, an 18-year-old Palestinian man. Yered and Indore, who have consistently maintained that he acted in self-defense, were swiftly arrested on murder charges. Indore was even restrained while in his hospital bed recovering from surgery.A judge slammed the Israeli police for what he noted were major inconsistencies regarding the evidence used by prosecutors to keep Yered and Indore in custody.Read A year of tragedy for the IDF: Here are the numbersThey have both since been released to house arrest.
