Defense establishment sources suspect an unusual weapons cache discovered on Sunday in an outpost in the Binyamin region is linked to Tal Yanon Dardik, the right-wing activist at the center of a political confrontation between the Defense Minister and the Central Command chief, according to a report by journalist Lee Aish.
The defense establishment suspects that a weapons cache discovered on Sunday in an unauthorized outpost in the Binyamin region of Judea and Samaria is connected to Tal Yanon Dardik, a right-wing activist currently held in administrative detention. The contents of the cache and the precise nature of the suspected link have not been publicly detailed.
The suspicion emerges against a backdrop of a prolonged political and legal confrontation over Dardik's detention. As The Zioneer has reported, Defense Minister Israel Katz has sought to limit the use of administrative detention against Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria, while Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Blot has insisted on keeping Dardik in custody, citing security concerns. Dardik has been on hunger strike for over 30 days, drawing public protests and demands for his release from right-wing lawmakers and activists.
