"Smotrich published this video from an event where the Ministry of Settlement and National Infrastructure, headed by Orit Strook, distributed rangers, cameras, and night vision equipment to 25 outposts (farms) in the Har Hebron Regional Council. Let's examine some examples of how ATVs play a role in the ethnic cleansing carried out by authorities through these farm outposts: The event took place at Meitarim Farm, owned by Yinon Levy (sanctioned by many countries). This outpost is a clear example of using ATVs as tools for harassing Palestinians and expelling them from their land. In recent years, Yinon's farm has expelled at least three villages and taken over their lands. Talia Farm: Bezalel Talia, seen embracing Smotrich in the video, resides at Talia Farm outpost. From there, he and his brother: at times wearing uniforms and other times - civilian clothing-regularly expel shepherds, harass villagers in surrounding areas, and seize Palestinian lands. Their use of ATVs for intimidation, harassment, and expulsion is well-documented. Har HaEla Farm: Yehoyariv Shvo also appears in the video. He established Har HaEla farm, a relatively new outpost established **deep within what apartheid defines as "Firing Zone 918," near Khalat al-Dabea village. Since the outpost's establishment, residents have faced a significant increase in attacks and restricted access to their private lands. ATVs play a central role in these activities. The purpose of this equipment is undoubtedly to enable settlers to attack, expel, and terrorize more efficiently. As Smotrich himself stated: "The farm occupies vast areas; if it doesn't exist, 'the pit will be empty-there will be snakes and scorpions" He clearly refers to the indigenous residents of the area-landowners living under constant terror." - Source
