Jerusalem, 5 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) announced that the leader of its Central Command, Major General Avi Bluth, signed an order allowing the use of technological means, such as personal monitoring devices, to monitor compliance with the conditions of restriction of movement orders in Judea and Samaria.
The order came following the directive of the government, and after joint staff work by the IDF, Shin Bet (Israel’s anti-terror General Security Service), Israel Police, the Ministry of Justice and the Legal Advisor for Judea and Samaria.
The order, explained the IDF, will allow for the installation of technological surveillance measures for those against whom an administrative order restricting their movement in the Judea and Samaria region has been issued, and for monitoring violations of the restriction orders accordingly.
“It should be emphasized that violating the instructions of the order or damaging the technological monitoring device intended for the purpose of monitoring constitutes an offense, for which criminal proceedings may be taken,” said the IDF.
