The Disengagement Law prohibits Israelis from staying in a place which was demolished as part of the 2005 Disengagement. Despite this, the Homesh yeshiva has stood at the site of the former community of Homesh for most of the past decade.
Political sources tell Israel National News that the Commander of the IDF Central Command, Major General Yehuda Fuchs, has been pushing the political echelon for permission to demolish the Homesh yeshiva for months.
